New solid NMR experiment for acquiring spectra and relaxation times of insensitive low-γ nuclei. This new version of PROSPR offers significant improvements over previous proposals, and provides a quantum description of the ADRF/ARRF processes in these experiments. Open-access in.

FTNMR has been a method of choice for collecting spectra for the last 50 years. See why and how an alternative based on phase-incremented steady-state free-precession could improve NMR for small molecules without bandwidth or resolution compromises

Concept and and experimental spectra are illustrated in the accompanying cover of this Weizmann/NHMFL open-access collaboration

DNP hasincreased solid-state NMR’s sensitivity but has done little on behalf of high-field solution-state 1H NMR. We “tricked” electrons into doing solution 1H DNP, by keeping them in particles that are large enough to do DNP as solids but small enough to cross-relax w/liquids.

Despite the pain around us, we are honored to be among this year's ERC AdG awardees. Kudos to the collaborators that helped us launch "SteadyNMR" and to the reviewers and experts that endorsed our proposals to enhance the acquisition of NMR and MRI.

And despite ongoing problems, its a wonderful time to celebrate Martins Otikovs receipt of his PhD degree with distinction (The Dov Elad Memorial Prize) for his thesis based on spatiotemporal encoding methods for cancer-oriented early detection in humans. Congratulations Martins!

Destruction was extensive, but thanks to numerous precautions there were zero casualties. The Gigahz, the 7T human, the 15.2T animal and the DNPs, are all up and running. So is the He recycling, and our lower-field 500, 600 solids and liquids machines. So life goes on!

For a while i hesitated to post anything re the bizarre reality that has surround us for the last week. But given the ample coverage that it's been given, I guess it is no secret that a week ago a number of ballistic missiles fell on the Weizmann Institute where we work and live.

The credit goes foremost to Elton and Qingjia for their first-rate work. Let's make it happen on humans now!

It was "one of THOSE evenings" with family and friends at the American Physical Society meeting in Anaheim, with the receipt of the Broida Award for outstanding achievements in magnetic resonance spectroscopy and imaging. So many people to thank, that i don't know where to start!

Delighted to see Martins Otikovs' titanic effort to provide a contemporary view on spatiotemporally encoded (SPEN) MRI. Thanks Martins and Zhiyong, both for this effort but foremost for the science and ideas we shared over the last decade. See below for more:.

With few scientists was our collaboration as long and fruitful as with Dr. Eriks Kupce. Delighted to see Tamar Wolf's final PhD paper devoted to Eriks Kupce's special JMR issue, illustrating the use of adiabatic pulses for cross-polarizing from dipolar-order. Open access below.

Together with Jeff Reimer we tried to put together some recollections about Alex Pines, a sorely missed friend that shaped our lives, and those of thousands of students and coworkers. If you'd like, feel free to share some words about the Alex you knew.
