Some Magnetic Moments

Dr. Pines

Darwin 103
4:00 PM

Dr. Pines will describe the origins and scientific foundation of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and its intellectual daughter - magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Beyond the fun of spin dynamics, the methods have wide applicability in disciplines ranging from physics and materials to chemistry and biomedicine. Recent advances include the miniaturization of NMR and MRI on to a portable microfluidic platform.
