These 12,900-year-old sediments were claimed to hold exotic materials: tiny spheres, ultra-small specks of diamond - called nanodiamond - and amounts of the rare element iridium that are too high to have occurred naturally on Earth. ❋ Unknown (2010)
"nanodiamond" - rich Canadian meteorite that crashed onto frozen Tagish Lake along the Yukon-B.C. border in January 2000. ❋ Unknown (2010)
If it takes a stack of 100 self-sharpening synthetic nanodiamond blades to get the perfect shave, then that's what it'll take. ❋ Mac (2006)
Ho and Meade imaged a variety of nanodiamond samples, including nanodiamonds decorated with various concentrations of Gd, undecorated nanodiamonds, and water. ❋ Unknown (2010)
"Nanodiamonds have been shown to be effective in attracting water molecules to their surface, which can enhance the relaxivity properties of the Gd-nanodiamond complex," said Ho. ❋ Unknown (2010)
(Other nanodiamond imaging methods, such as fluorescent nanodiamond agents, have limited tissue penetration and are more appropriate for histological applications.) ❋ PhysOrg Team (2010)
The intense signal of the Gd-nanodiamond complex was brightest when the Gd level was highest. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Meade, Ho and their colleagues are now conducting preclinical studies with the MRI contrast agent-nanodiamond hybrid in various animal models. ❋ PhysOrg Team (2010)
The Gd-nanodiamond complex demonstrated a greater than 10-fold increase in relaxivity -- among the highest value per atom of Gd reported to date. ❋ PhysOrg Team (2010)
A Northwestern University study shows that coupling a widely used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent to a nanodiamond results in dramatically enhanced signal intensity and thus vivid image contrast. ❋ PhysOrg Team (2010)
Meade, Ho and their colleagues developed a Gd-nanodiamond complex that, in a series of tests, demonstrated a significant increase in relaxivity and, in turn, a significant increase in contrast enhancement. ❋ PhysOrg Team (2010)
The biocompatibility of the Gd-nanodiamond complex underscores its clinical relevance. ❋ Unknown (2010)
With an eye towards optimizing this novel hybrid material, they also are continuing studies of the structure of the Gd (III) - nanodiamond complex to learn how it governs increased relaxivity. ❋ PhysOrg Team (2010)
His team has studied the nanodiamond issue, but he's not yet able to discuss the results. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Study leader Scott said that his team has studied the nanodiamond issue, but he's not yet able to discuss the results. ❋ Unknown (2010)
