60th Experimental Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Conference

The recent availability of NMR- and EPR-on-a-chip technology, which allows to integrate the entire MR spectrometer electronics and even the detection coil into a single CMOS ASIC (application specific integrated circuit), allows for drastic reductions in size, complexity and cost of MR spectrometers. Moreover, new detection techniques enabled by the recently proposed voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) based MR detection approach, enable significant performance boosts in spin sensitivity. In this invited talk, the new possibilities of the MR-on-a-chip technology both for the realization of new mobile in-field and in-situ applications as well high performance MR sensing will be discussed.
