Re-balance

Reworked to distinguish early work on the development of FT NMR from its developments. Remark that multi-dimensional NMR was first proposed by Jeener moved to NMR page where it is more appropriate - Ernst won the prize for running with a good idea when he saw one! Down-played MRI - Lauterbur and Mansfield should be mentioned before Ernst in this case. 84.92.241.186 21:43, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Possible copyright violation

Large chunks of text in the Research and Career section are almost the same as text from Encyclopedia Britannica's biography, here. In particular, this paragraph:

In 1968 he returned to Switzerland to teach at his alma mater. He was made assistant professor in 1970 and full professor in 1976. His second major contribution[citation needed] to the field of NMR spectroscopy was the experimental demonstration of the “two-dimensional” NMR technique first introduced by Jean Jeener at the 1971 AMPERE Summer School.[7] Multi-dimensional NMR enabled a high-resolution study of larger molecules than had previously been accessible to NMR. With Ernst's refinements, scientists were able to determine the 3D structure of organic and inorganic compounds and of biological macromolecules such as proteins; to study the interaction between biological molecules and other substances such as metal ions, water, and drugs; to identify chemical species; and to study the rates of chemical reactions.

is identical to the Britannica text except for the citations. 50.205.108.227 (talk) 12:41, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks nice catch. A bunch was added back in 2008 here and more in 2012 here. Jytdog (talk) 03:53, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
