Chemistry breakthrough sheds new light on illness and health

May 13, 2013 – 7:00 pm
  • Chemistry breakthrough sheds new light on illness and health - From microscopes to MRI scanners, imaging technology is growing ever more vital in the world's hospitals, whether for the diagnosis of illness or for research into new cures. Imaging technology requires dyes or contrast agents of some sort. Current contrast agents and dyes are expensive, difficult to work with and far from ideal. Now, Danish chemists have discovered a new dye and proved its worth against any of the dyes currently available.

    Team creates MRI for the nanoscale: Level comparable to an atomic force microscope

    February 14, 2013 – 10:00 pm
  • Team creates MRI for the nanoscale: Level comparable to an atomic force microscope - An international team of researchers has opened the door for MRI technology at the nanoscale. Using tiny defects in diamonds they sensed the magnetic resonance of molecules to peer down to the level of atoms.(10.1126/science.1231675)
