¹Faculty of Physics, Adam Mickiewicz University, ²NanoBioMedical Centre, ³Department of Physicochemistry of Solid Surface, Faculty of Chemistry, Maria Curie-Skłodowska University

Here we report the synthesis and characterization of ordered nanoporous carbon (with a 4.6 nm pore size) and SBA-15 (with a 5.3 nm pore size). The work describes the surface and textural properties of nanoporous molecular sieves, their wettability, and the melting behavior of D₂O confined in the materials.

Here, we present a protocol to acquire magnetic resonance (MR) images of multiple sclerosis (MS) patient brains at 7.0 Tesla. The protocol includes preparation of the setup including the radio-frequency coils, standardized interview procedures with MS patients, subject positioning in the MR scanner and MR data acquisition.
