Kurt Wüthrich (2015) - NMR in Biology, Chemistry and Medicine

For the discovery of the physics phenomenon of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), Felix Bloch and Edward Purcell were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1952. NMR has then been used in a wide range of fundamental studies in physics, and in the 1960s it also became an important analytical tool in chemistry
