ABSTRACT
214Since the 1970s, nuclear magnetic resonance has developed at a rapid pace. Its unprecedented ascent has impacted not only the area of chemical analysis, but also the ways in which we are now able to examine the structure of large, biologically significant macromolecules. The technique is used to analyze solids, and thanks to its ability to produce images using magnetic resonance tomography - MRI - it moved into the medical mainstream, with hospitals and radiologists relying on it to assist them in their diagnoses. The prominent scientist Richard Ernst helped lay the foundations for all of this and made a huge contribution to its development. It is therefore a real pleasure to hold this autobiography in my hands.
