Dr. Robert “Rob” Schurko (PhD’98) was a pioneering solid-state NMR scientist and inspiring mentor. His innovations advanced materials research, while personal warmth, musical talent and generosity lef...

The potential of resonant acoustic mixing for inducing polymorphic transformations is assessed via real-time 13C cross-polarization magic-angle spinning solid-state NMR. Conversion of metastable α-gly...

The global shortage of helium caused by the conflict in the Middle East and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz is providing a boost to Canada’s nascent helium industry.

The fallout from the war in the Middle East has led to cuts in helium supplies for health services in at least one province — and experts are warning that Canada still hasn’t done enough to secure sov...

Homepage for ISXB7 to be held in Banff, Canada from May 18-22, 2026. Conference focusing on sigma hole bonding and weak interactions.

MagLab’s NMR Director described as extraordinary leader, first-rate scholar, and remarkable person.

Robert W. Schurko is a Professor of Chemistry at the Florida State University and Director of the NMR/MRI User Program at the National […]

For decades, chemists have relied on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), a technique that uses magnets, to probe the structure of molecules. NMR works beautifully for many elements but struggles with mo...

Theoretical chemist’s insights are now embedded into computer software used to predict the behaviour of molecules from pharmaceuticals to construction materials

Complexes of macrocyclic ligands are routinely used as MRI contrast agents and radionuclide carriers for PET and SPECT diagnostics and radiotherapy. This study explores the structural and electronic e...

Quadrupolar spin resonance (QSR) is radio frequency spectroscopy that provides a chemical fingerprint in the absence of a magnetic field. Materials may present QSR spectra featuring multiple overlappi...

Chlorpromazine, a widely used antipsychotic medication formulated as a hydrochloride salt, has been a significant active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) for the treatment of schizophrenia for much of ...

CBC News has identified several North American-based organizations that have relocated upcoming conferences, either partially or fully, from the U.S. to Canada. Conference organizers said travel conce...

In turbulent economic times, the prime minister’s Liberal party has promised funding to attract research talent to Canada.

National Science Foundation staff were told to freeze outgoing funding days after NSF leadership introduced a new policy that requires that grants be screened for “alignment with agency priorities”

US science funder also plans to screen grant applications for compliance with ‘agency priorities’.

A nearly universal component of NMR crystallography is the ranking of candidate structures based on how well their first-principles predicted NMR parameter
