It’s clearly “Star Trek Comes Nearly True” time, first with the life-signs detector, and now a tiny NMR machine that’s effectively v1.0 of the medical tricorder.

Many copies of each component are carved out simultaneously from a single ... MRI and NMR machines incorporating them might be able to get good pictures using a magnet that’s much weaker ...

Detecting the molecular structure of a tiny protein using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) currently requires two things: a million-dollar machine the size of a massive SUV, and a large sample of ...

It has become increasingly important for chemists and analysts to be able to test and determine the various components that may be present in mixtures, to solve a wide variety of scientific problems.
