News 25-04-2024 Diamond dust shines bright in Magnetic Resonance Imaging Potential alternative to widely used contrast agent gadolinium An unexpected discovery surprised a scientist at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Stuttgart: nanometer-sized diamond particles, which were intended for a completely different purpose, shone brightly in a magnetic resonance imaging experiment – much brighter than the actual contrast agent, the heavy metal gadolinium. Could diamond dust – in addition to its use in drug delivery to treat tumor cells – one day become a novel contrast agent used for MRI? The research team now published their discovery in Advanced Materials. Jelena Zinnanti Eberhard Goering Anna-Maria Wild Peter Schützendübe Anitha Shiva Metin Sitti
