Better contrast agents based on nanoparticles

Wednesday, August 3, 2016 - 10:01 in Physics & Chemistry

Scientists at the University of Basel have developed nanoparticles which can serve as efficient contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging. This new type of nanoparticles produce around ten times more contrast than the actual contrast agents and are responsive to specific environments. The journal Chemical Communications has published these results.
