About These Units
Megagauss (MG)
A megagauss (MG) equals 10⁶ gauss or 100 teslas. Achieved through explosive flux compression, pulsed power systems, or Z-pinch devices. Sandia Z-machine produces ~20 MG briefly. Used in fusion research and weapons physics.
Femtotesla (fT)
A femtotesla (fT) equals 10⁻¹⁵ teslas. Measures biomagnetic fields: human brain activity 10-1000 fT, human heart (MCG) 1-100 pT. SQUID sensors can detect sub-femtotesla fields. At the frontier of magnetic field measurement.
