University of Cambridge, UKOrganizer Department of Chemical and Biological PhysicsContact Abstract Show full text abstract about Hyperpolarised NMR is a valuable technique for grading tumou...» Hyperpolarised NMR is a valuable technique for grading tumours and detecting treatment response through real-time, monitoring of bio-chemical reactions in vivo, which may also be resolved spatially. At present, however, the range of detectable reactions is limited, due to fast T1-dependent decay of the nuclear hyperpolarisation. Use of coupled spins-1/2 may improve this situation, since these may decay more slowly than T1 when the polarisation is trapped in the nuclear singlet (spin-0) state [1, 2]. Singlet order escapes many of the processes that result in signal loss, thereby preserving spin order over longer timescales [3], and potentially allowing detection of slower metabolic processes. Singlet order may also preserve hyperpolarization during transport to sites of interest in vivo, such as tumours, or allow more handling time of the sample before injection.

SEARCHING FOR EARTH-TWINS AROUND SOLAR-TYPE STARS

Geneva UniversityOrganizer Faculty of PhysicsContact Abstract Show full text abstract about At the present time a few low mass exoplanets have already b...» At the present time a few low mass exoplanets have already been detected in the so-called habitable zone (HZ) of their host stars. On one hand a limited number of planets with a few times the mass of the Earth orbiting bright stars in the solar vicinity have been characterized. However measurements of transiting super-earths seem to indicate that these planets could have massive atmospheres and may not be optimum for life development. On another hand, a large number of exoplanets with radii comparable (or even smaller) to the Earth's one have been identified by the Kepler space mission. However these potentially rocky planets are not in the HZ . In addition the host stars of these planets are faint and at quite large distance: A difficult situation for further studies as mass determination or differential spectroscopy during transits. In this lecture we will discuss the perspectives in that exciting search towards the discovery of potential sites for life development. -
