Hirst win the Institute of Physics Business Innovation Award 2020
Hirst has now developed a significant advance of the PFM process with mathematical support from the University of Exeter. These new PFM self demagnetisation field function (SDFF) units allow closed-circuit magnetic measurements to be made in open-circuit circumstances, something which has not been possible before. This is an essential step needed for the characterisation of actualContinue reading “Hirst win the Institute of Physics Business Innovation Award 2020”
