Abstract:
"There's plenty of room at the bottom". This was the title of Richard Feynman's well-known lecture in 1959, often considered a seminal event in the history of nano-sciences and technologies. For magnetic resonance (MR), we borrow the statement to suggest a plethora of opportunities in low-field NMR/MRI with miniaturized apparatus, particularly the ex-situ type. We argue that a widespread use of MR technology is only possible at low fields.
