Microscale NMR and MRI conference 2025

Reflecting on an inspiring week at the Microscale NMR and MRI Conference 2025

From June 29 to July 2 we had the pleasure of hosting the Microscale NMR and MRI Conference 2025 at the Buhlsche Mühle in Ettlingen, Germany, bringing together leading minds in magnetic resonance research for an unforgettable exchange of ideas, innovation, and collaboration.

A heartfelt thanks to our generous sponsors, which include:

• Bruker
• Oxford Instruments
• Magritek
• Voxalytic
• HyperSpin
• Siemens Healthineers
• Zurich Instruments
• HQS Quantum Simulations
• Rototec Spintec

Your commitment to advancing science and technology is deeply appreciated.

We were especially proud to showcase the work of four exceptional PhD students, who delivered special talks that highlighted the future of our field:

• Chun Him Lee – Karlsruhe Institute of Technology: Optoelectronic Signal Processing for High-Field EPR Spectroscopy
• Billy Salgado – RPTU Kaiserslautern: ODNP-Enhanced Benchtop 13C NMR Spectroscopy for Continuous-Flow Applications
• Dmitrii Zasukhin – Karlsruhe Institute of Technology: Automated Bullet-Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (Bullet-DNP) for Enhanced ¹H NMR Monitoring of Ligand binding
• Max Vöhringer - Karlsruhe Institute of Technology: Ongoing Development of a 263 GHz Helical-Type Gyro-TWT for DNP-NMR

Their presentations were a true highlight and a testament to the next generation of scientific excellence.

We were honored to welcome an impressive lineup of invited speakers, all of them respective leaders in their fields. Their keynote presentations covered cutting-edge developments in magnet engineering, signal detection, and molecular encoding. They sparked valuable discussions throughout the event. Many thanks to:
