From October 17–19, the Energy & Georesources Sub-Forum was successfully held in Qingdao. With over 30 high-level presentations, the academic quality of this event reached new heights. If you missed it, feel free to check the highlights online.

Next up: From November 5–7, the International Forum on Biomedical Materials and the 10th National Symposium on Low-Field NMR Technology & Applications (Biomedical Materials Session) will take place in the beautiful coastal city of Ningbo. The forum will uphold its long-standing mission of fostering cross-disciplinary exchange and showcasing cutting-edge innovations in biomedical materials and NMR-based diagnostics.

Conference Theme: Biomedical Materials and Low-Field NMR Technology in the Big Health Era

Venue:
Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology & Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences

Address: Zhongguan West Road, Zhenhai District, Ningbo, Zhejiang, China

Over 60 high-impact academic presentations expected

“Niumag Night” Showcases FFC-NMR Technology & Applications

Fast Field Cycling Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (FFC-NMR) is a cutting-edge technique that measures spin-lattice relaxation rates over a range of magnetic fields. By modulating field strengths from a few kHz to 40 MHz, FFC-NMR captures how T₁ and T₂ relaxation times vary — enabling detailed analysis of NMR dispersion (NMRD) curves.

Application Areas:

1. Evaluation and optimization of MRI contrast agents

2. Routine assessment of therapeutic protein aggregation

3. Studying interactions between proteins and other molecules

4. Identifying new biomarkers for early cancer diagnosis and cost-effective disease screening

5. Monitoring fluid-phase changes and material quality in polymers

Meet Us in Ningbo

The presentation schedule is packed with exciting content. A full introduction to FFC-NMR will be delivered at the “Niumag Night” banquet. We look forward to seeing you there — stay tuned!
