Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is one of the most important tools for studyingmatter at the molecular level. Originally developed in the late 1940s and early 1950sindependently by the Purcell group at Harvard and the Bloch group at Stanford, NMRhas been heavily utilized in the physics and chemistry disciplines for studying physicaland molecular compositions of liquid samples. Since its inception, advancements inNMR technology has led to many new applications and uses being discovered, withthe arguably most well known application being magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Other applications include investigation of porous media [4, 5], quality control for foodproducts [6, 7, 8], inspection of polymers [9, 10], the study of agricultural products[11], as well as many others [12, 13].
