Cesium Vapor Magnetometer

A Cesium Vapor Magnetometer is a scientific instrument that measures the strength and direction of magnetic fields. It uses cesium atoms in a vapor state, which are sensitive to magnetic forces. When exposed to a magnetic field, the behavior of these atoms changes in a measurable way. This allows scientists to gather precise data on Earth's magnetic field, which is useful for applications like geology, archaeology, and navigation. Essentially, it helps us understand and map the magnetic properties of the Earth and other objects, contributing to research in multiple scientific fields.
