Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Shared Resource serves cancer research projects in the field of structural biology as well as in synthesis and analysis of complex natural products and synthetic molecules, including conformational analysis and relationship of structure and biological activity.

(Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Shared Resource, NCI Thesaurus)

Using a technique called pulsed field gradient (PFG) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, which is not readily applied to battery electrode materials, the researchers measured the movement of lithium ions through the oxides, and found that they moved at rates several orders of magnitude higher than typical electrode materials.
