analyzing samples with the NMR: Yakelis’s Organic Special Projects students and Waldow’s Instrumental Analysis students will be among the first students to use it. The machine works by an electronic arm plucking out a sample from a rotating tray and slowly lowering it into a tube, which then goes down on a column of air into the bowels of the machine and into a center of a powerful magnet that is 200,000 times as strong as the Earth’s magnetic field. As the machine analyzes the sample, information
