A miniature magnetic resonance imager made of diamond

Quantum sensors make microscale NMR spectroscopy possible

23-Oct-2023 - The development of tumors begins with miniscule changes within the body's cells; ion diffusion at the smallest scales is decisive in the performance of batteries. Until now the resolution of conventional imaging methods has not been high enough to represent these processes in detail. A research ...

Mini X-ray source with laser light

18-Aug-2015 - Physicists from Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics and the TU München have developed a method using laser-generated X-rays and phase-contrast X-ray tomography to produce three-dimensional images of soft tissue structures in organisms With laser light, ...

Visualizing the “matrix”

App provides insight into the quantum world of coupled nuclear spins

05-Jun-2015 - Magnetic resonance tomography (MRT) images are an important diagnostic tool. The achievable contrast depends on how well the nuclear spins that form the basis of the imaging signals can be controlled. Mathematically, the properties of nuclear spins are described by special matrices. Now a team ...
