Researchers use the so-called color centers in diamonds, energized using green laser light, to develop an innovative diagnostic technique for brain tissue.

Removing a brain tumor presents surgeons with special challenges: They must remove the tumor without damaging healthy brain tissue. Among other things, it is important to keep an eye on the motor cortex responsible for movement. If, for example, a nerve pathway leading from this to the arm is severed, the patient will no longer be able to move that arm following the operation. ...
