Major Milestone: $18M Awarded for High-Field Solid-State MAS-DNP NMR
The National Resource for Advanced NMR celebrates a significant achievement by a team lead by Frederic Mentink-Vigier, who have received an $18 million NSF award to establish a groundbreaking Ultra High Field MAS-DNP NMR facility.
Key Highlights of the New Facility:
- Advanced DNP Technology: Integrating Dynamic Nuclear Polarization to achieve orders-of-magnitude gains in sensitivity for solid-state NMR experiments.
- Low-Temperature Cryoprobes: State-of-the-art cryogenic probing systems engineered for high-field stability and enhanced signal detection.
- Broad Scientific Impact: Expanding structural and dynamic characterization capabilities across biomolecules, biomaterials, and energy materials.
This award reinforces the continued leadership and collaborative innovation driving high-field magnetic resonance forward.
Congratulations, Fred!
