| contents | Levitated ferromagnetic systems are expected to have significant potential in precision magnetic field sensing by leveraging mechanical isolation to minimize mechanical contact and associated noise. Here, we report the implementation of a high-sensitivity magnetometer based on a levitated ferromagnetic torsion oscillator, incorporating a centroid tracking method for superior measurement resolution and noises reduction. The device, featuring a compact sensor volume of $(2.5 \, \rm{mm})^3$ and operating under room temperature, attains a remarkable magnetic sensitivity of {$391\pm 59 \, \rm{fT\cdot Hz^{-1/2}}$}. This capability enables precise detection of weak magnetic fields and provides a novel platform for exploring exotic interactions beyond the Standard Model. These results demonstrate that the levitated torsion oscillator system not only serves as a powerful tool for high-precision magnetic sensing but also holds promise for advancing breakthroughs in fundamental physics. |
