Details
This book was initiated as part of a research project on the development strategy of "Basic Scientific Questions in High Magnetic Field" led by Dr.Baogen Shen and Dr. Yuheng Zhang, which discusses about the progresses and future directions in physics, material sciences, chemistry as well as life sciences in high magnetic field in mainland China. This particular book mainly focuses on the progresses of interdisciplinary researches of high magnetic fields and life sciences by researchers from mainland China. The topics covered can be roughly divided into two major categories. One is to study the effects of high magnetic fields on biological samples, such as cell, humans and animals.The other is to utilize techniques that based on high magnetic field to study biological questions, such as using NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) and MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) in structural biology and medical imaging.
