Master Class: Reprise of the Pocket NMR
Why does MRI require high magnetic fields? Why is it such a low energy technique compared to X-ray?
Mathematica notebook to explore the question.

Thank you so much for your lectures. I am a student at a university in VA, and I was having a lot of trouble with p-chem until I found your blog. I just wanted to let you know that you have helped me to understand the most difficult concept in chemistry: quantum mechanics.

There are a few breakthroughs reported recently on the application of magnetic resonace imaging. For example, the following link points to a news item about a recenty PNAS paper on MRI of a virus in 3-D and it claimed that the resolution was improved by 100 million times to nanoscale.

There is another paper discussing the breakthrough in the MRI theorical perspect. But i could not remember where I read it.
Great questions. Kids working on their science fair projects can use questions like these posed by educators to develop topics and hypotheses for their science fair projects.
