Towards Pulsed DNP at 100 Tesla

Alexander Barnes – @MagnetXander

We’re dreaming of a bright future for NMR—aiming for pulsed DNP at 28 Tesla, and higher magnetic fields. I’m psyched to be part of such an awesome, promising, and supportive field—power to NMR! Hope everyone enjoys #GlobalnmrTC2023 pic.twitter.com/ZcpC0qxvzQ

I have a dream. I dream of hundreds and thousands of 100 Tesla Pulsed Dynamic Nuclear Polarization NMR spectrometers sitting on bench-tops and equipped with magic angle spinning spheres spinning a million times a second. To make this dream a reality, talented, ambitious, and dedicated scientists at the ETH Zurich are developing new magnets, microwave technology, and MAS instrumentation. Let me tell you about it.
