Early in the Han dynasty, between 300 and 200 BC, the Chinese fashioned a rudimentary compass out of lodestone ... This compass may have been used in the search for gems and in the selection of sites for houses ... Their directive power led to the use of compasses for navigation...
  • The Greek term μαγνῆτις λίθος magnētis lithos (see Platonis Opera, Meyer and Zeller, 1839, p. 989) means "Magnesian stone". It is uncertain whether the adjective μαγνῆτις "of Magnesia" should be taken to refer to the city Magnesia ad Sipylum in Lydia (modern-day Manisa, Turkey) or after the Greek region of Magnesia itself (whence came the colonist who founded the Lydian city); see, for example, "Magnet".

  • Nemoto & Co. Ltd., Article Archived 2008-12-05 at the Wayback Machine: In addition to ordinary phosphorescent luminous paint (zinc sulfide), brighter photoluminescent coatings which include radioactive isotopes such as Strontium-90, usually in the form of strontium aluminate, or tritium, which is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen are now being used on modern compasses. Tritium has the advantage that its radiation has such low energy that it cannot penetrate a compass housing.
