About the course

Magnetic resonance is a phenomenon that occurs when materials are placed in a strong magnetic field and exposed to radiowaves. It is often encountered in the medical context, where it is known as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Magnetic resonance relies on the precession of atomic nuclei in a magnetic field. The precession frequency depends on the nucleus (hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, phosphorous, etc) and on the strength of the magnetic field. In addition, the magnetic field is changed in subtle ways by the chemical environment of each nucleus. By careful spectral analysis, it is therefore possible to gain a wealth of information about the structure and the dynamics of matter at the molecular scale. This is widely exploited in Chemistry, Biochemistry, the Life Sciences, and in Materials Science. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
