Magnetic field imaging

As sensors the most sensitive magnetic sensors presently available, Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices (SQUID), which are cooled down to 4 K (-269 °C) with liquid helium, are used to acquire the signals.

Magnetomyography

The development of this technique has been influenced by the development of SQUIDs.

Magnetomyography (MMG) is a technique for mapping muscle activity by recording magnetic fields produced by electrical currents occurring naturally in the muscles, using arrays of SQUIDs (superconducting quantum interference devices).

and various neotonous 'baby' dinosaurs, prehistoric mammals, whales, an 8-limbed "giant squid," giant insects, and versions of some animals from Dougal Dixon's "Future Zoo."

Great hammerhead

An active predator with a varied diet, known prey of the great hammerhead include invertebrates such as crabs, lobsters, squid, and octopus, bony fishes such as tarpon, sardines, sea catfishes, toadfish, porgies, grunts, jacks, croakers, groupers, flatfishes, boxfishes, and porcupine fishes, and smaller sharks such as smoothhounds.

Humboldt squid

The large 1997-98 El Niño event triggered the first sightings of Humboldt squid in Monterey Bay.
