Today, COSIG has two new guides!

🤖Spotting and handling text generated by large language models (LLMs)
🧲Spotting issues with magnetometry results, a set of techniques used to measure the magnetic properties of materials

Both guides are now available to read and adapt at cosig.net!

Adelaide researchers used synthetic area spread in 2D SQIF arrays to achieve absolute magnetic field sensing without sacrificing detector sensitivity—a long-standing trade-off. Applications include MEG imaging and quantum hardware readout.

It almost feels like I'm doing arts & crafts as I fashion a new sample holder from a drinking straw. And yes, I have a very large stockpile of drinking straws in order to fabricate enough magnetometry sample holders until I die or retire.

Random internal electric fields from dopants cause systematic errors exceeding g-factor uncertainty in NV magnetometry at few-mT bias fields. Monte Carlo modeling reproduces asymmetric lineshapes observed experimentally; proposed ABCDE fitting function reduces RIEF-induced err...

This is what it looks like to work on the forefront of scientific research, squeezing some abomination of a solvent-raped sample into a capsule intended for powers, haphazardly sealing it with 2-part epoxy, and then putting it into a drinking straw the manufacturer recommends against. Beautiful.
