Can NMR, based on Bloch's work, still reveal new physics?
Absolutely. The core principles of nuclear magnetic resonance, which I helped to establish, are remarkably robust. While the initial applications focused on chemical and biological structures, the sensitivity and precision of modern NMR techniques continue to push the boundaries of what we can explore. For instance, advancements in NMR allow us to study quantum entanglement in novel systems, probe exotic states of matter, and even investigate the fundamental properties of materials under extreme conditions. The elegance of the underlying physics means that as our experimental capabilities grow, NMR can still serve as a powerful tool for uncovering new physical phenomena.
