Nobel laureate Richard R. Ernst dies at 87
Richard R. Ernst was dozing on an October 1991 flight from Moscow to Washington, DC, when the captain appeared at his seat. “Wake up,” the captain told him. “You’ve just won a prize.” “What prize?” Ernst asked, annoyed at being disturbed. “The Nobel Prize,” the captain answered. Speaking of those moments in a 2010 interview , Ernst recalled, “Then, I exploded.” Ernst was the sole recipient of the 1991 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work advancing the field of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. He died June 4 at 87. NMR spectroscopy uses radio signals to probe the chemical environment of atomic nuclei, information that can be used to elucidate the structure of a molecule. It is the basis for a suite of analytical techniques used to investigate molecules small and large and for the medical tool of magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI. Ernst’s first major contribution, at Varian
Colleagues remember a transformational figure in NMR spectroscopy and beyond
