'New window' on earth's climatic record

Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging, the technology that allows physicians to look at cancer cells and brain lesions, has for the first time been used to examine core samples taken from the ocean floor. The images produced so far show new details in the sedimentary record -- details that may help scientists assemble a 200,000-year record of changes in the earth's climate, according to Madeleine Briskin, who pioneered the application ...

Open sesame: portable devices may achieve magnetic resonance views.(This Week)
Science News ; Like modern doctors, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners don't do house calls. They and related nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) instruments for chemical analysis require that a patient or sample come to a lab or clinic and squeeze into the inner recesses of a machine. Although a few small
New vibes in magnetic resonance detection. (detecting magnetic resonance in biological molecules)
Science News ; By using the technology that made possible both the scanning tunneling microscope and the atomic force microscope, researchers have now devised an extremely sensitive method for detecting magnetic resonance. This detection technique - which relies on the vibration of a tiny sliver of silicon
