NMRs can now be Compact and Cost-Effective
Now that patented new software has been developed to reduce magnetic noise, it is hoped that permanent magnets can be used for NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) applications. Currently only superconducting electro-magnets are used, as in the picture above. These work by super-cooling a coil of copper wire to -270°C. |
