Advantages of High Magnetic Fields coupled with High Homogeneity & High Magnet Stability Altered Physical Phenomena at High Field, e.g. altered relaxation times in Magnetic Resonance Different frequency regime, e.g. important for characterizing dynamics Enhanced Sensitivity, e.g. can be greater than B o 4 Enhanced Resolution, e.g. enhancements can increase with dimensionality of the spectra Enhanced Spectral dispersion, leads to the possibility for developing 1 H detection for biological solid state NMR Changed Relative Magnitudes of Spin Interactions for Magnetic Resonance, e.g. leads to substantial resolution enhancements, such as TROSY; leads to greatly improved resolution for quadrupolar nuclei Increased Magnetic Susceptibility, e.g. enhanced Functional MRI and contrast ; improved alignment of diamagnetic, paramagnetic molecules Many of these Factors Combine in a Multiplicative Fashion for NMR and MRI

State of the Art in HTS/LTS NMR Magnets Y. Iwasa, MIT 700 MHz (100 MHz double pancake Bi2223 tape) A number of significant challenges in the drive toward high homogeneity and high stability have been described in Iwasa’s publications. For instance, the screening current induced fields generated by the double pancake HTS coil appears to be primarily responsible for the non-linear behavior of the a Z1 room temperature shim Hahn et al., (2009) IEEE Trans. Appl. Supercond. 19:2285

State of the Art in HTS/LTS NMR Magnets H. Maeda, RIKEN & Yokohama Univ. 500 MHz (76 MHz double pancake Bi2223 tape) Significant problems with drift (some of it due to a poor power supply) and homogeneity (a degra- dation of a ppb in 74 hours) were observed. The 10 hour 3D HNCACB spectrum is an awesome achievement. Yanagisawa et al., (2010) JMR 203: LTS LTS/HTS

HTS/LTS NMR Magnets: Scientific Frontiers Structural biology is shifting toward the study of protein complexes - most proteins and nucleic acids function as complexes in the cell - NMR provides an opportunity to characterize these complexes in a native-like environment and higher fields will permit the characterization of larger complexes and complexes that bind more weakly. Characterizing proteins in a native-like environment is becoming increasingly important especially for proteins that occur in a heterogeneous environment - protein structure is the result of protein- protein interactions as well as protein-environment interactions. Characterizing materials for anodes and cathodes in functioning model batteries and synthetic membranes for fuel cells as well as the characterization of catalytic surfaces will be greatly enhanced through expanded access to the quadrupolar nuclei of the Periodic Table. Characterizing complex mixtures as in metabolomics will greatly benefit from the increased dispersion and will not be signifiantly hindered by small sample size.

HTS/LTS NMR Magnets: Thoughts on a Roadmap Partnering with industry - it is unlikely that the NHMFL will design and construct the entire HTS/LTS magnet. It will be important to develop a partnership, most likely with Agilent. Funding the Design and Construction of the Magnet - an effort will have to be made to lay the ground work for submitting a proposal for funding to NIH and or DOE. This needs to be an NHMFL-wide effort. Workshop on HTS/LTS Materials, Magnets and Potential Science - The NHMFL will develop a workshop, probably to be held in Washington DC for good NSF, NIH and DOE participation.
