1. A method of detection of an unknown event in which electron translation is accompanied by photon emission, which comprises:
- detecting changes in electromagnetic field strength, the electromagnetic field being produced by atomically- or molecularly-generated magnetic fields, said changes being caused by photon emission accompanying electron translation in the unknown event;
recording a time course of said changes in electromagnetic field strength; and
comparing said recorded time course with predetermined time courses of changes in electromagnetic field strength of known events in which electron translation is accompanied by photon emission so as to determine the cause of the unknown event.

Abstract
Method and apparatus for detecting or analyzing chemical reactions, such as an enzyme reaction, and other events in which electron translation is accompanied by photon emission utilizing a magnetometer probe to detect a change in electromagnetic field strength as a characterization of the event. The event may be of unknown cause and a recorded time course of the change in electromagnetic field strength may be compared with known events to determine the cause of the unknown cause event.
