China tested a handheld submarine detector. It tracked a subway train underground
Chinese researchers have showed a handheld quantum magnetometer built for hunting submarines in a striking real-world test: it tracked a subway train rumbling beneath a city street. The device, developed by Peng Xinhua and colleagues at the University of Science and Technology of China, is described in a study published on September 14 in Acta Physica Sinica.
