Toward Miniaturization of NMR and MRI: Nano Seminar Series

Contemporary NMR and MRI instruments are big, immobile, hazardous and expensive. I shall describe recent advances in our laboratory aimed at translating some of the capabilities of NMR and MRI onto a mobile microfluidic chip platform.

Components of the converging methodologies include optical pumping and detection, functionalized Xenon biosensors, and remote microfluidic sensing at low to zero magnetic field.
