Magnet Free NMR Device

Magnet Free NMR Device
Jun-06-11
Students at UC Berkeley have developed a way to detect nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) fields without the use of a magnetic field, which could allow future NMR devices to be smaller, cheaper, and safer.

The students were able to eliminate the need for magnets by using a technique known as parahydrogen-induced polarization. This method results in a very large signal enhancement, creating faint magnetic fields. The fields are then measured with an optical atomic magetometer, which, unlike previous low field NMR detectors, requires no refrigeration.

First of all congratulation to all who have developed this nice technique. Only the cost of the instrument is high, otherwise small R & D scale industries also can afford such equipments.
