Introduction
The Nobel Prize has been awarded twice for work
related to NMR. F. Bloch and E.M. Purcell
received the Nobel Prize in Physics, in 1952, for
the first experimental verifications of the
phenomenon, and Prof. R.R. Ernst received the
Nobel Prize in Chemistry, in 1991, for the
development of the NMR techniques.
Since its discovery 50 years ago, in 1945, it has
spread from physics to chemistry, biosciences,
material research and medical diagnosis.
