Quantum nanotubes for hyperpolarization and sub-cellular magnetic resonance
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) offer profound insights into chemistry and life sciences but are limited by their low sensitivity due to weak nuclear spin polarization under ambient conditions. NMR-NANOTUBES addresses these challenges with Boron Nitride Nanotubes containing optically active spin defects (C@BNNTs), an absolute novelty in the landscape of quantum technologies. Building on my expertise in magnetic resonance spectroscopy, quantum sensing, and spin defects in boron nitride materials, I aim to leverage these systems to develop: 1) Hyperpolarization Technology: C@BNNTs, with their highly porous nanostructure and densely packed optically…
