Imaging is a fundamental tool in the practice of medicine. The interaction of medical imaging radiation with new materials has long been exploited to develop new and improved imaging systems and techniques. In parallel with these advances, there is increasing interest in developing new contrast agents for the diagnosis of disease. Exogenous contrast agents are non-native sources of contrast...

High-resolution magnetometry is an essential tool used across the sciences. The recent development of electron spin resonance scanning tunnelling microscopy (ESR-STM) opens the door on a new type of magnetometry, one with the ability to coherently manipulate quantum spins with neV energy resolution and sub-nanometre spatial resolution [1]. In this talk I will show recent results obtained from...

Currently, optical cutoff filters in the infrared range are primarily
based on
scattering or multilayers. These types of filters, however, come with
disadvantages.
In multilayer filters the varying material properties between the
different layers causes
mechanical instability at extreme temperatures. Scattering-type...

Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité
In recent years, nanomaterials have garnered significant attention in the effort to develop novel applications and technologies, or for the improvement of already existing ones. In particular, a strong emphasis has been placed on nanoparticle-based probes than can be used in imaging and therapeutics. Of particular interest are metal nanoparticles such as silver, platinum and gold, which...
