MRI with one nanometer resolution

Weizmann Institute scientists have developed a nano-MRI method that allows imaging of single molecules at room temperature
The method is based on the superpolarization of the hydrogen nuclei in water molecules at a temperature close to absolute zero and then sprinkling them on biological molecules under physiological conditions
