Chemist Jörg Matysik co-authors review article on spin hyperpolarization

News from Magnetic resonance techniques are used in a wide range of scientific disciplines and in practice. The best-known example is magnetic resonance imaging in medicine. These techniques are currently enjoying a major boost thanks to the rapidly developing field of spin hyperpolarization. This can considerably increase the intensity of signals, counteracting the relatively low sensitivity of magnetic resonance. Together with twelve other scientists from Europe and the US, Jörg Matysik, a chemistry professor from Leipzig, has published a review article on the current state of research in this field in the prestigious journal "Chemical Reviews". -Hyperpolarization gives new impetus to existing magnetic resonance applications and opens the door to exciting new possibilities,- says Professor Jörg Matysik. -I am very honoured to be part of this select team of international writers.
