Led by Professor David Reilly from the School of Physics researchers from the University investigated how nanoscale diamonds could help identify cancers in their earliest stages."
"We knew nano diamonds were of interest for delivering drugs during chemotherapy because they are largely nontoxic and non-reactive,
"says Professor Reilly.""We thought we could build on these nontoxic properties realising that diamonds have magnetic characteristics enabling them to act as beacons in MRIS.
"Professor Reilly's team turned its attention to hyperpolarising nanodiamonds, a process of aligning atoms inside a diamond so they create a signal detectable by an MRI SCANNER."
"says Professor Reilly. The next stage of the team's work involves working with medical researchers to test the new technology on animals.
