superconducting quantum interference device [¦sü·pər·kən′dəkt·iŋ ′kwän·təm ‚in·tər¦fir·əns di‚vīs]

(electronics)

A superconducting ring that couples with one or two Josephson junctions; applications include high-sensitivity magnetometers, near-magnetic-field antennas, and measurement of very small currents or voltages. Abbreviated SQUID.

No references found			Energy fields associated with the human body have been detected by electroencephalograms (EEG), electrocardiograms (ECG), and very highly sensitive devices such as superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUID). Energy Balance in the Body - There Is a Key to Better Health by aashish dave / Business community In this research paper, the scientists show that a magnetic field-pulsed microwave transmission line containing an array of superconducting quantum interference devices, or SQUIDs, not only reproduces physics analogous to that of a radiating black hole, but does so in a system where the high energy and quantum mechanical properties are well understood and can be directly controlled in the laboratory. Scientists propose new way to reproduce a black hole in the lab by Asian News International MEG is a non-invasive technique that provides detailed information on the brain in almost real time by using superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) sensors to measure the magnetic fields generated by currents flowing in and around neurons.
