In addition to calibration and experiment/testing activities, R&D activities are carried out in the laboratory for industrial, medical and military applications for the needs of the country. In addition, by participating in international projects together with metrology institutes of other countries, studies on current issues are closely followed.

Among the important studies carried out in our laboratory in recent years is the development of a high-precision fluxgate magnetometer. This magnetometer has a wide range of applications. It was first used during World War II to detect submarines and sea mines, and today it is an essential device for low-altitude satellites. The fluxgate magnetometer, which was developed by TUBITAK-UME and passed all the tests, and our torque rods connected to this device took their place on the İMECE satellite launched in 2023. We continue to work on the construction of magnetometers and torque rods for the satellite projects to be launched in the coming years. We also have projects for different applications of the fluxgate magnetometer.

Another recent and important work carried out in the laboratory is the "Development of a low-field and low-cost portable MR imaging device" project supported by EURAMET, in which many metrology institutes are participating. Unlike commercial high magnetic field MR devices, the magnetic field in the MR device to be produced in this project is generated by NdFeB magnets. Approximately 2500 NdFeB magnets are arranged with a special technique to create a homogeneous magnetic field of 50 mT. This device is considered as a practical solution for regions that do not have the opportunity to purchase a commercial MR Device. Since there is no need for liquid helium, maintenance and operating costs are also very low. It is also on the agenda for use in emergency and intensive care units of hospitals in cases where the patient cannot be transported. When the project is completed, it will be put into use at I.U.
