Microfluidics experiments and simulations show that magnetotactic bacteria are adapted to the geomagnetic field strength for optimal navigation in sediment environments.

In February, a small aircraft flew 300 miles through the skies, guided only by Earth’s magnetic field. How so? Onboard was a new device called MagNav, developed by Australian startup Q-CTRL, and it ...

The same error-prone sensitivity that has slowed down the development of quantum computers is being turned into an advantage ...

Until the arrival of GPS, the magnetic compass was the single most useful navigational tool available to humans. But it’s a recent invention. Although Chinese explorers understood the principles of ...

A team of researchers at Q-CTRL has successfully demonstrated a new quantum navigation system called Ironstone Opal.

What’s behind this unprecedented shift, and how does it threaten to throw modern navigation systems into chaos? The magnetic ...

And because they use quantum sensors for this process, they can detect magnetic anomalies with much greater sensitivity than previously possible and significantly better than a high-end inertial ...

A quantum magnetic navigation system has been tested to guide an aircraft – and it outperformed standard backup systems that planes rely on when GPS signals are jammed. GPS and other global ...

Dr. Arnaud Chulliat, a senior research scientist at the University of Colorado, highlights that delays in updating the World Magnetic Model can amplify navigation errors. Dr. William Brown ...

Stereotaxis, Inc. designs, manufactures and markets robotic magnetic navigation systems for use in a hospital's interventional surgical suite to enhance the treatment of arrhythmias and coronary ...
