Applications
New ways to measurebiological activity.
The brain and heart generate weak magnetic signals associated with their electrical activity. Optically pumped magnetometers give research teams a wearable, contactless way to study those signals.
02
Cardiac sensing
Contactless magnetocardiography research, using the same atomic sensors to study the heart's magnetic field. Arrays, noise management and calibration are part of the same system.
03
Peripheral signals
Exploring magnetic measurement of peripheral nerve and muscle activity, so the same sensing approach can follow biological signals beyond the brain and the heart.

01Quantum sensors
Atoms prepared by light, reading the body's magnetic fields.
Optically pumped magnetometers use alkali vapor cells and laser light to resolve the very weak fields produced by biological activity. We develop the vapor cell, sensor control, optical readout and calibration.

02Sensor arrays
From one sensor to a wearable, multi-channel array.
Brain and cardiac mapping need many channels working as one. We are developing the electronics, synchronisation and non-magnetic mechanics that bring individual sensors into coordinated arrays.

03Signal processing
Keeping the measurement with the person, not the building.
Gradiometer layouts, shielding and reference sensors work together, and signal processing then separates the biological field from what remains. Shielding, field control and analysis are designed as one system.

Bring a component into the work.
We are building the products, integrated solutions and component ecosystem around research applications. That work connects sensor development with application-led engineering, and with specialist suppliers who support biomedical measurement, quantum sensing and laboratory research. Precision lasers and education kits sit alongside the sensor programme.
