 New Hyperpolarization Method Could Enable Portable NMR

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is used in a wide range of applications, including medical imaging and chemistry. However, the need to generate powerful magnetic fields using expensive and bulky equipment has limited the scope of its use and presents an obstacle for developing compact and portable NMR devices. Researchers from Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) and the Helmholtz Institute Mainz (HIM) have now combined zero- to ultralow-field NMR (ZULF NMR) with an improved hyperpolarization technique that could help minitiarzie NMR analytical tools and expand their use.
