AZoQuantum speaks with Jennifer Burt, Jennifer is part of an international team of astronomers that have discovered an exoplanet, known as TOI-1231 b. The exoplanet is a roughly Neptune-sized planet that has been determined as having a cool atmosphere, which completes an orbit of its parent star in just 24 days.

In this interview, Prof. Sergio O. Valenzuela, ICREA Research Professor and Leader of the Physics and Engineering of Nanoelectronic Devices group at the Centre d’Investigacions en Nanociència i Nanotecnologia, talks to AZoQuantum about different perspectives on spintronics.
Magnetometry broadly refers to measuring magnetic fields, and is a topic that is hard to cover in its generality. The fields to be measured could be constant or variable (for example, oscillating or pulsed), and, depending on application, can range in magnitude from femtotesla (fT) to hundreds of tesla.
Fluorescence spectroscopy and microscopy is one of the most advanced and important techniques in biophysical research. The enormous sensitivity of fluorescence allows for the direct detection, spectroscopy and imaging of individual molecules.
