Warren S. Warren1
Abstract
NMR spectroscopy has changed enormously over the years, but signal detection has stayed the same since the technique was invented. The latest thinking literally shines a new light on things.
Sixty years ago, the forefront of speculative physics research included the nascent field of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Physicists placed atomic nuclei in a strong, constant magnetic field and then watched the voltages induced in a coil when the nuclei were perturbed with weak, finely tuned radio waves.
