Sign in to save

Swiss physical chemist and Nobel laureate (1933–2021)

AI overview

Richard Ernst was a Swiss physical chemist who won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for developing nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, a powerful technique for studying the structure of molecules. His work revolutionized chemistry and medicine by providing scientists with a precise method to analyze matter at the atomic level, which has applications ranging from drug discovery to medical imaging (MRI).

Encyclopedic overview

Richard Robert Ernst (14 August 1933 – 4 June 2021) was a Swiss physical chemist and Nobel laureate.

Ernst was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1991 for his contributions towards the development of Fourier transform nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy while at Varian Associates and ETH Zurich. These underpin applications to both to chemistry with NMR spectroscopy and to medicine with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
