Purcell shared the 1952 Nobel Prize in Physics with Felix Bloch of Stanford for their independent discoveries of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR...
Basic research often takes time to show up in practical uses. The transistor was invented in 1947 by scientists studying solid-state circuits but was only put into radios in the 1960s. Now, life without the transistor is unimaginable. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) was discovered in the 1940s but was not used as a medical imaging device until the 1970s (now called magnetic resonance imaging). Now MRI provides a significant diagnosing device for doctors. Numerous applications can spring from single basic research discoveries, but those applications are not obvious before the research. Applied research usually takes basic research and puts...
