Nanoscale Superconducting QUantum Interference Devices (nanoSQUIDs) are potentially the most sensitive measurement devices in the world. They detect changes in an electromagnetic property known as magnetic flux, which means they can be used to detect single photons or to characterise the tiny quantum oscillations in nano-electromechanical systems (NEMS).
