In this work, we attempt to provide a novel magnetometer operable at room temperature. We firstly achieved stable levitation of magnets smaller than 1mm in size at room temperature using diamagnetic levitation techniques. For the levitated magnets, their rotational degrees of freedom are sensitive to external magnetic field strengths with low dissipation. Through the application of optical lever techniques, we have realized high-sensitivity measurements of the rotational dynamics of the levitated magnets. After suppressing factors such as magnetic field noise, air fluctuation, laser-induced thermal damage, and system vibrations, we have currently achieved a sensitivity of 1pT/Hz^1/2 for magnets with a size of 0.5mm.
