PhD fellowship / Development of a novel neutron spin filter

January 9, 2013 - The following announcement was just posted on the AMPERE MAGNETIC RESONANCE List: The following PhD fellowship is currently available at the Paul Scherrer Institute, PSI, Switzerland: For the study and the further development of a novel method of DNP and its application in neutron science we are seeking a highly motivated PhD Student Your tasks will be to develop a neutron spin filter based on a novel method of dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) that uses optically excited triplet states in molecular crystals to polarize the nuclei of the filter sample.

Solid-State NMR: Biomolecules Viewed at Atomic Resolution

January 9, 2013 - Happy New Year everyone. I hope everyone got a little rest over the Holidays. For those of you who are members of the American Chemical Society there was a short review-type article about solid-state NMR spectroscopy and how the method advanced over the past 10 years in the December 24th issue of Chemical & Engineering News.
