IBM’s MRI technology to nanoscale can help in efficient drug development
Now visualising nanoscale objects is possible. Yes, on our planet only! As a result of the efforts made by researchers at IBM, the technology invented have made it possible through its demonstration of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques.
Moving a step ahead into a bigger domain, now you are also served with a reday microscope to see atoms in three dimensions. This will ease the scientist study for protein-functionality, which in turn may lead to more efficient drug discovery and development. Henceforth, a major development in structural molecular biology kitty.
The credit goes to IBM’s Almaden Research Centre that has made it possible for the first time. MFRM offers imaging sensitivity that is 60,000 times better than the current MRI technology.
