Biomagnetic Sensing

The transition from electric to magnetic measurements has several advantages in a variety of applications. If, e.g., electroencephalo- or electrocardiographic analysis are supported by their magnetic counterparts, the corresponding analyses might deliver much better results. However, it's not trivial to establish the corresponding magnetic systems. Further details can be found here.

CRC 1261

The general objectives of the Collaborative Research Centre 1261 "Magnetoelectric Sensors: From Composite Materials to Biomagnetic Diagnostics" are the research and development of different magnetoelectric sensor approaches with a special focus on high sensitivity at biomagnetic frequencies and their evaluation and utilization in medically or biologically relevant questions. Further details can be found here.

Outreach

We support interactive and engaging science communication and education on biomagnetic sensing. Together with CRC 1261 researchers, we develops and offer a wide range of outreach activities, like public lectures, interactive exhibitions, lab visits, visits to schools, student project days and many more.

Biomagnetic Sensing at the German Conference of Women in Physics

From September 18–20, 2025, the German Conference of Women in Physics (Physikerinnentagung) took place in Kiel. This event brought together a diverse group of experts to network, exchange ideas, and discuss science and careers, with students and early-career researchers warmly welcomed.

The program offered a rich mix of cutting-edge physics talks—from quantum technologies and materials science to astrophysics and biophysics—alongside career panels, teaching workshops, and discussions on equal opportunities.

A special highlight for our team was the talk “FAIR data for better science from DAPHNE4NFDI” by Bridget Murphy, one of the local organisers and PI of Biomagnetic Sensing project A6, as well as the poster presentation “Domain Structures in AlScN Thin Films” by Ella Dieball, also a member of project A6.

We are proud that Biomagnetic Sensing could support this valuable conference and showcase our research alongside such an inspiring community of physicists.
