Stelar SRL proudly participated as a sponsor at the 52nd Italian National Conference on Magnetic Resonance, organized by GIDRM and held this year at the University of Verona. This annual event brings together the Italian NMR community, providing a key platform to showcase cutting-edge research and technological innovation in the field of nuclear magnetic resonance.
Highlights from Stelar at the Conference
Professor Anne-Laure Rollet Presents Fast Field Cycling (FFC) NMR Relaxometry
On Thursday, Professor Anne-Laure Rollet represented Stelar with a talk titled: “Fast Field Cycling NMR Relaxometry to Shed Light on Interfacial Systems.”
The presentation highlighted FFC NMR relaxometry as a powerful technique that measures relaxation rates over nearly four decades of magnetic field, allowing the study of dynamics on multiple timescales. This method provides access to mesoscopic dynamics that other techniques cannot measure, making it ideal for analyzing complex systems such as protein dispersions, colloid suspensions, porous materials, food, polymers, and biological samples. Anne Laure illustrated these principles using egg yolk-based tempera paints, showing how FFC NMR can explore water dynamics within the mixture, which are critical for paint drying and aging.
Stelar Team Posters on Advanced NMR Techniques
During the poster session, our team, represented by Imran Sarwar and Denis Burov, presented three innovative posters:
-
Ringing Compensation in High-Q RF Coils for NMR – A modified pulse sequence reduces RF coil ringing, recovering 3–4 microseconds of free induction decay signal for solid-state NMR and studies of large molecules such as proteins and polymers.
-
Low-Field Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting (MRF) – This adaptation of MRF to time-domain low-field NMR accelerates multiparametric analysis, generating unique “fingerprints” for T1 and T2 parameters. Using a pseudo-random RF sequence and neural network analysis, the method provides rapid and robust characterization of complex materials.
-
Storm6: Real-Time TD and FFC NMR Acquisition and Analysis – Storm6 integrates experiment control and real-time data analysis in a single interface, enabling researchers to monitor relaxation components and sample complexity as the magnetic field changes. This platform enhances workflow efficiency and reproducibility for time-domain and FFC NMR experiments.
Advancing Italian NMR Research
Stelar’s participation at the 52nd Italian National Conference on Magnetic Resonance underlines our commitment to innovation in NMR technology and collaboration within the national scientific community. By presenting cutting-edge research and solutions, Stelar continues to support the advancement of relaxometry applications across diverse sectors, from materials science to food and biological studies.
Thank You and See You Next Year
We sincerely thank the GIDRM organizers and all participants for an inspiring and productive conference. We look forward to seeing everyone at the 53rd Italian National Conference on Magnetic Resonance in Caserta, continuing to share knowledge, foster innovation, and strengthen the Italian NMR community.
