High critical field superconductors are less sensitive to magnet quenching, providing even higher fields. They can be cooled using cryogens like Helium, but simply using an oscillating pressure field. Using solar or wind energy, the cheap cooling promises magnetic resonance at high field, low operating cost, and renewable energy. Such magnets, made compact, can be used to prepolarise chemical samples, to be analysed in benchtop NMR systems, with better nuclear magnetic resonance spectra.

Parallel NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) detection enhances measurement throughput for high-throughput screening. However, local gradients in parallel detectors cause field spillover in adjacent channels, leading to spin dephasing and signal loss. This study introduces a compensation scheme using optimized pulses to mitigate gradient-induced field inhomogeneity through coherence locking. The proposed approach offers an effective solution for NMR probes with parallel, independently switchable gradient coils.

The magic angle spinning (MAS) technique of solid state NMR requires samples to be rapidly rotated within a magnetic field. The rotation rate speed record is 150 kHz, or 9 million RPM, and hence MAS turbines hold the world rotation speed record for extended objects. The containers holding the samples are made of the strongest materials known, to be able to withstand the excessive centrifugal forces. To overcome the speed limit, this paper delineates a way to do so using an optical tweezers setup

To increase experimental efficiency, information can be encoded in parallel by taking advantage of highly resolved NMR spectra. Here we demonstrate parallel encoding of optimal diffusion parameters by selectively using a resonance for each molecule in the sample. This yields a factor of n decrease in experimental time since n experiments can be encoded into a single measurement. This principle can be extended to additional experimental parameters as a means to further improve measurement time.

We use the theory of magnetostatic reciprocity to compute manufacturable solutions of complex magnet geometries, establishing a quantitative metric for the placement and subsequent orientation of discrete pieces of permanent magnetic material. This leads to self-assembled micro-magnets, adjustable magnetic arrays, and an unbounded magnetic field intensity in a small volume, despite realistic modelling of complex material behaviours.
