Millions of patients suffer from the consequences of spinal cord injury (SCI) and congenital spinal anomalies. Although many of these patients have obvious limitations in mobility, unbeknownst to the general public is that nearly all have neurogenic bladder dysfunction and lack control of their bladder. Since SCI...

“Quantum sensor” technologies have opened attractive new applications stemming from the ir sensitive detection of magnetic fields. This is typified by the Nitrogen Vacancy (NV) center in diamond that has allowed the nanoscale sensing of spins in materials, molecules, and biological systems through optical means. In this talk, Professor Ashok...
