Magnetic resonance in porous media
Published 28 October, 2024
Introduction:
Porous media are ubiquitous and possess a wide range of distinct morphological and topographical properties, often difficult to access by conventional methods. As a unique technology, magnetic resonance has been applied extensively for several decades to non-invasively characterize the structure, interactions and dynamics of fluids in porous media, as well as these media themselves. It does this via spectroscopy, relaxometry or imaging modalities.
This special issue is dedicated to a selection of papers presented at the 16th International Bologna Conference Magnetic Resonance in Porous Media (MRPM), which was held in August 2024 at Tromso, Norway. MRPM is a series of conferences that report on the progress of our understanding of the structure, molecular dynamics and fluid transport in porous media and their elucidation by established and novel magnetic resonance methods. It has traditionally covered all aspects from microporous to macroscopic structures in nature, materials and engineering. MRPM16 particularly focused on applications of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on food, biomedical topics, environmental issues and development in hardware and data treatment. To acknowledge all contributions to the MRPM16 conference, we are now inviting submissions of original, high-quality, innovative research articles from speakers and selected presentations at MRPM16.

- NMR
- Magnetic resonance imaging
- Magnetic sesonance spectroscopy
- Liquid-state NMR
- Solid-state NMR

Important deadlines:
- Submission deadline: 31 January 2025
- Planned publication: June 2025
Submission Instructions:
Please read the Guide for Authors before submitting. All articles should be submitted online; please select SI: Magnetic resonance in porous media on submission. Papers that are accepted after undergoing peer review will be published open access with no fee payable by the author.
