Diagramming the method for separating a mouse into its components, Huber suggested the use of tomography, electron microscopy, biochemical analysis, crystal decoration, X-ray crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging for high-resolution, atomic detail...
Purcell shared the 1952 Nobel Prize in Physics with Felix Bloch of Stanford for their independent discoveries of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR...
Purcell's discovery of NMR provided the basis for the technology of magnetic resonance imaging. NMR also has important applications in chemical analysis...
Purcell, Mallinckrodt Professor of Physics Emeritus Robert V. Pound and Nicholaas Bloembergen worked together to develop the theory of nuclear magnetic relaxation, one aspect of NMR, in their famous "BPP" paper...
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...
