1. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Marker

Inscription. Herbert S. Gutowsky showed that nuclear magnetic resonance could be used to establish molecular structure and to measure rates of chemical and biological reactions and motion in solids. As a result of his work beginning in 1948, nuclear magnetic resonance became a standard tool in chemistry, molecular biology, and medical imaging.
