| Title: |
Diamonds; MRI probe |
| Description: |
A nitrogen vacancy (small circles) within a diamond crystal shows promise as a "bit" for quantum computers in part because of its great sensitivity to magnetic fields-a sensitivity that also could enable MRI-like studies on objects as small as living cells or single molecules. When green light strikes the nitrogen vacancy, it fluoresces red; detecting variations in this fluorescence permit scientists to extract its information.
