From Richard Ernst’s Nobel prize-winning techniques to hyperpolarisation and in-situ battery analysis, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy continues to reinvent itself 

From the Nobel prize-winning innovations of Richard Ernst to cutting-edge research on batteries, medical imaging and quantum technologies, nuclear magnetic resonance has repeatedly reinvented itself. Yet despite becoming one of chemistry’s most indispensable tools, scientists are still working to overcome its fundamental limitations, opening the door to a new generation of faster, smaller and more sensitive NMR techniques.
