This symposium will bring together diverse audiences who develop and apply a wide range of magnetic resonance spectroscopies. This includes experts in solid-state NMR, solution NMR, and potentially electron paramagnetic resonance and magnetic resonance imaging. The symposium also seeks to include, beyond experts, routine practitioners of magnetic resonance methodologies with applications across the chemical, biochemical, and materials sciences. We therefore anticipate contributions from physical chemists, inorganic chemists, materials chemists, and biochemists.
