Ultrasensitive mechanical detection of magnetic moment using a commercial disk drive write head

The ability to detect weak magnetic moments is important for the study of nanomagnetism and spin-based quantum technologies. Here, the authors demonstrate nanoscale spin detection with high spin sensitivity using a commercial hard drive write head.
