Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is typically thought of as a possible technology for quantum computation. Here we instead outline how commercially available NMR spectrometers could be used to perform non-quantum computation: from addressable 3D memory, to a programmable 3D reaction-diffusion computer.

This article discusses the basic concepts of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) with the intention to introduce the subject to uninitiated. The MRI technique is a powerful noninvasive probe of the body's internal anatomy. In MRI, the images are produced not by X-rays, but through the use of non-ionizing radiowaves that stimulate transitions between spin states of nuclei in a magnetic field when p...

A H–C frequency-selective REDOR (FS-REDOR) experiment is developed for measuring intramolecular H–C distances in uniformly C, N-labeled molecules. Theory and simulations show that the experiment removes the interfering homonuclear H–H, C–C and heteronuclear H–N, C–N dipolar interactions while retaining the desired heteronuclear H–C dipolar interaction. Our results indicate that this technique, ...

Rapid and accurate measurements of protein biomarkers, pathogens and cells in biological samples could provide useful information for early disease diagnosis, treatment monitoring, and design of personalized medicine. In general, biological samples have only negligible magnetic susceptibility. Thus, using magnetic nanoparticles for biosensing not only enhances sensitivity but also effectively r...
