About These Units
Nanotesla (nT)
A nanotesla (nT) equals 10⁻⁹ teslas, identical to the gamma unit. Used in geophysics, space physics, and magnetometry. Earth's field: 25,000-65,000 nT. Geomagnetic storms cause variations of 100-1000 nT. Standard unit for geomagnetic surveys.
Picotesla (pT)
A picotesla (pT) equals 10⁻¹² teslas. Used in magnetoencephalography (MEG) measuring brain magnetic fields (10-1000 fT), SQUID magnetometer research, and detecting extremely weak magnetic signals. Requires magnetically shielded rooms.
