Traditional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy relies on the versatile chemical information conveyed by spectra. To complement conventional NMR, Laplace NMR explores diffusion and relaxation phenomena to reveal details on molecular motions. Under a broad concept of ultrafast multidimensional Laplace NMR, here we introduce an ultrafast diffusion-relaxation correlation experiment enhancing the resolution and information content of corresponding 1D experiments as well as reducing the experiment time by one to two orders of magnitude or more as compared with its conventional 2D counterpart. We demonstrate that the method allows one to distinguish identical molecules in different physical environments and provides chemical resolution missing in NMR spectra. Although the sensitivity of the new method is reduced due to spatial encoding, the single-scan approach enables one to use hyperpolarized substances to boost the sensitivity by several orders of magnitude, significantly enhancing the overall sensitivity of multidimensional Laplace NMR.

Defining myocardial fiber bundle architecture in atrial digital twins.

ArXiv

A key component in developing atrial digital twins (ADT) - virtual representations of patients' atria - is the accurate prescription of myocardial fibers which are essential for the tissue characterization. Due to the difficulty of reconstructing atrial fibers from medical imaging, a widely used strategy for fiber generation in ADT relies on mathematical models. Existing methodologies utilze semi-automatic approaches, are tailored to specific morphologies, and lack rigorous validation against imaging fiber data.

Ultrafast nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) uses spatial encoding to record an entire two-dimensional data set in just a single scan. The approach can be applied to either Fourier-transform or Laplace-transform NMR. In both cases, acquisition times are significantly shorter than traditional 2D/Laplace NMR experiments, which allows them to be used to monitor rapid chemical transformations.

The determination of molar masses and their distributions is crucial in polymer synthesis and design. This work presents the current performance and limitations of diffusion-ordered spectroscopy (DOSY) on a low-field (benchtop) NMR spectrometer (at 90 MHz) as an alternative to size exclusion chromatography (SEC) for determining diffusion coefficient distributions (DCDs) and molar mass distributions (MMDs). After optimization for narrowly distributed homopolymers, MMDs obtained with inverse Laplace transformation (ILT) and log-normal distribution are compared with average molar masses obtained with mono- and bi-exponential fits, as well as MMDs obtained from SEC.

Laplace NMR is a powerful tool for studying molecular dynamics and spin interactions, providing diffusion and relaxation information that complements Fourier NMR used for composition determination and structure elucidation. However, Laplace NMR demands sophisticated signal processing algorithms such as inverse Laplace transform (ILT). Due to the inherently ill-posed nature of ILT problems, it is generally challenging to perform satisfactory Laplace NMR processing and reconstruction, particularly for two-dimensional Laplace NMR.
