Diamond Defects Boost Magnetic Field Sensing for Brain Activity Mapping

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
MELBOURNE, Australia, July 12, 2022 — A team from Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Solid State Physics (Fraunhofer IAF), with diamond sensing technology experts from RMIT University, demonstrated that magnetic-field-dependent emission from nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond deliver a measurement of magnetic fields with 10× more precision than current state-of-the-art techniques. This boost in sensitivity could improve existing techniques for magnetically sensing and mapping brain activity in disorders such as concussion, epilepsy, and dementia. Negatively charged NV centers in diamond have shown potential as...Read full article

    medical lasers
    Medical lasers are devices that produce intense beams of light with specific characteristics and properties, which are used for various medical applications. These lasers emit light in the form of coherent and focused beams, allowing precise control over the energy delivered to tissues. The term "laser" stands for "light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation." In the medical field, lasers are employed for diagnostic, therapeutic, and surgical purposes. Their applications...
