Scientists develop a non-invasive "molecular flashlight" to detect brain changes, aiding cancer diagnosis.

Scientists have created a "molecular flashlight" that uses a thin light probe to detect brain changes caused by cancer and other neurological disorders without damaging brain tissue. The device, developed by Spanish researchers, relies on vibrational spectroscopy and the Raman effect to identify unique signals from molecules in the brain. Currently tested in animal models, this non-invasive technology could offer a new way to monitor and diagnose brain conditions like metastases.
