Nuclear magnetic resonance: high sensitivity on smallest space

In many areas from materials sciences to medicine, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is used for detailed molecule-specific investigations. Scientists of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have now succeeded in enhancing the sensitivity of NMR measurements. For this purpose, the scientists used so-called Lenz lenses that focus magnetic flux. The scientists present their method in the journal PLOS ONE.
