A lightweight magnetically shielded room with active shielding (2022)
Journal Article
Holmes, N., Rea, M., Chalmers, J., Leggett, J., Edwards, L. J., Nell, P., …Bowtell, R. (2022). A lightweight magnetically shielded room with active shielding. Scientific Reports, 12, Article 13561. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-022-17346-1

Magnetically shielded rooms (MSRs) use multiple layers of materials such as MuMetal to screen external magnetic fields that would otherwise interfere with high precision magnetic field measurements such as magnetoencephalography (MEG). Optically pump... Read More about A lightweight magnetically shielded room with active shielding.

Magnetic field design in a cylindrical high-permeability shield: The combination of simple building blocks and a genetic algorithm (2022)
Journal Article
Packer, M., Hobson, P. J., Davis, A., Holmes, N., Leggett, J., Glover, P., Hardwicke, N. L., Brookes, M. J., Bowtell, R., & Fromhold, T. M. (2022). Magnetic field design in a cylindrical high-permeability shield: The combination of simple building blocks and a genetic algorithm. Journal of Applied Physics, 131(9), Article 093902. https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0071986

Magnetically sensitive experiments and newly developed quantum technologies with integrated high-permeability magnetic shields require increasing control of their magnetic field environment and reductions in size, weight, power, and cost. However, ma... Read More about Magnetic field design in a cylindrical high-permeability shield: The combination of simple building blocks and a genetic algorithm.

Triaxial detection of the neuromagnetic field using optically-pumped magnetometry: feasibility and application in children (2022)
Journal Article
Boto, E., Shah, V., Hill, R. M., Rhodes, N., Osborne, J., Doyle, C., …Brookes, M. J. (2022). Triaxial detection of the neuromagnetic field using optically-pumped magnetometry: feasibility and application in children. NeuroImage, 252, Article 119027. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2022.119027

Optically-pumped magnetometers (OPMs) are an established alternative to superconducting sensors for magnetoencephalography (MEG), offering significant advantages including flexibility to accommodate any head size, uniform coverage, free movement duri...
