MRI in Action
To call “Alex” Pines one of the world’s leading authorities on NMR/MRI technology is an understatement. Pines, who holds joint appointments with Berkeley Lab’s Materials Sciences Division and with UC Berkeley, where he is the Glenn T. Seaborg Professor of Chemistry, has worked with an ever-changing but consistently creative and dedicated group of graduate students and post-doctoral researchers (affectionately referred to as “Pinenuts”), plus a long-standing core of collaborators, to essentially re-define what NMR/MRI technology is. Like the ultimate therapist, he has extracted from atomic nuclei an on-going series of increasingly sensitive self-revelations under ever-broadening situational settings. Over the past two decades, Pines has been using NMR/MRI technology to carry out a veritable communications gabfest with atomic nuclei.
This issue of SABL debuts the first in a series of three articles on the latest of the lengthy but still growing list of accomplishments by Alex Pines and his Pinenuts.
Atoms and the molecules that they form are more than ready and able to communicate their nature to those who have mastered any one of several different languages they use. Of these languages, perhaps none is potentially more revealing than "nuclear magnetic resonance" or NMR, and its sibling, “magnetic resonance imaging” or MRI. And of those who have mastered the language of NMR/MRI, there is none who has mastered it better than Berkeley Lab chemist Alexander Pines.
