Standardized tests and diagnostic equipment can measure reactivity, and studies have shown a correlation between brain activity and susceptibility. Biological factors, such as eye blinking speed, can also influence susceptibility. At its core, the concept of […]
Magnetic susceptibility measures a material’s sensitivity to magnetic fields. Tests can provide information on a sample’s composition and structure. Technicians must control the environment to obtain accurate results. Ratios greater than one indicate susceptibility. Laboratory equipment is available to measure magnetic susceptibility. Magnetic susceptibility reflects the degree of sensitivity of a material to magnetic fields. […]
