Spin-exchange optical pumping of mixtures of alkali-metal vapors and noble gases can be
used to efficiently polarize the nuclei of the noble-gas atoms. Liters of noble gases at …

As currently implemented, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) relies on the protons of water
molecules in tissue to provide the NMR signal. Protons are, however, notoriously difficult to …

In spite of the apparent simplicity of silica's composition and structure, scientists are still
investigating fundamental questions regarding the formation, constitution, and behavior of …

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is widely used across many fields of science because
of the rich data it produces, and some of the most valuable data come from studies of …

The sensitivity of conventional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques is
fundamentally limited by the ordinarily low spin polarization achievable in even the strongest …

The nuclear spin polarization of the noble gas isotopes 3He and 129Xe can be increased
using optical pumping methods by four to five orders of magnitude. This extraordinary gain …

A method is described for producing several liters of nuclear spin polarized 129Xe gas via
spin exchange with an optically pumped Rb vapor. We use a 140 W AlGaAs laser diode …

Metal nanoparticles (NPs) stabilized by metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been
intensively studied in recent decades, while investigations on the location of guest metal …

A new aluminum naphthalenedicarboxylate Al (OH)(1, 4-NDC)· 2H2O compound has been
