1. A magnetometer comprising:

  • a resonator containing first and second nodes of fundamental resonance; and

    first and second support wires supporting the resonator at the first and second nodes of fundamental resonance for inserting a current at the first node and extracting the current at the second node, the magnetometer being placed in a magnetic field to be detected, the magnetic field being normal to the direction of the current in the plane of the resonator and producing a Lorentz force normal to the resonator, the Lorentz force causing deflection in the resonator that can be detected.
