SQUID

A SQUID (superconducting quantum interference device) is a very sensitive magnetometer used to measure extremely subtle magnetic fields, based on superconducting loops containing Josephson junctions.

SQUIDs are sensitive enough to measure fields as low as 5×10−14 T with a few days of averaged measurements. Their noise levels are as low as 3 fT·Hz12. For comparison, a typical refrigerator magnet produces 0.01 tesla (10−2 T), and some processes in animals produce very small magnetic fields between 10−9 T and 10−6 T. SERF atomic magnetometers, invented in the early 2000s are potentially more sensitive and do not require cryogenic refrigeration but are orders of magnitude larger in size (~1 cm3) and must be operated in a near-zero magnetic field.

Examples of use of Squid
1. The squid, a female, was not fully grown and was relatively small by giant squid standards.
2. The squid is the biggest specimen ever caught of the rare and mysterious deep–water species Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni, or colossal squid.
3. "The giant squid became snagged on the jig." The camera took 550 digital images over the next several hours while the squid tried repeatedly to free itself.
4. "It was lovely char–grilled squid," I reminded him brightly.
