Practical Applications of NMR to Solve Real-World Problems

Dear Colleagues,

Once primarily within the purview of academia, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) is now routinely used in many industry sectors, government agencies, and other applied research activities with great benefit. Such areas include agriculture, metabolomics, and complex mixtures, manufacturing and process monitoring, pharmaceuticals (biologics and small molecules), national security, forensics, energy, and renewables. Many similar technical challenges, and often regulatory burdens, are shared across these fields, yet there is often little cross-talk between the various NMR practitioners in each of these focused areas. Greater sharing of experience and expertise amongst practitioners of applied NMR would be of benefit to all.

With this in mind, this Special Issue will collect original papers and review articles across the broad array of current NMR applications in solving practical problems, with the goal of enabling cross-talk between academic, industrial, and government scientists. Emphasis will be placed on papers that address practical applications, including more basic research-oriented articles that seek to translate NMR methods into a new or different sector.
