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.

Paul Diemel Wins 1st Poster Prize at the Biomagnetic Spring Retreat 2026

Congratulations to Paul Diemel for winning the first-ever poster prize at the Biomagnetic Sensing Spring Retreat in Sankelmark!

This year marked the debut of the award, recognizing outstanding poster presentations.

The prize was given for presenting recent results from the scientific outreach project (SOP). Paul's poster impressed attendees with its clear and engaging presentation and its attractive design.

Projects B12 and A9 tied for second place, while project A2 took third place.

The introduction of a poster prize was received positively among the CRC members. Everyone who attended all four poster sessions of the spring retreat was eligible to vote. The prize was then presented to Paul by CRC spokesperson Gerhard Schmidt during the final discussion session.
