[+=]The Nobel Prize in Physics 1944 was awarded to Isidor Isaac Rabi "for his resonance method for recording the magnetic properties of atomic nuclei".--Nobel Foundation. "In 1944 Rabi won the Nobel Prize in Physics for his development of the magnetic resonance method. This method became the basis for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), discovered independently by Edward Purcell and Felix Bloch in 1945 and 1946. NMR quickly became an indispensable tool for chemists. Later, Rabi s prize-winning work was the basis for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which became an indispensable tool for physicians."--Complete Dictionary of Scientific Biography online.

Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First edition, journal issue in original printed wrappers, of the first announcement of the discovery of magnetic resonance. Isidor Isaac Rabi (1898-1988) was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1944 for developing a "resonance method for recording the magnetic properties of atomic nuclei". His extensive research at Columbia University on investigations into the nature of the force that holds atomic nuclei together led to the creation of the molecular-beam magnetic-resonance detection method. Using this system, physicists were finally able to detect and measure magnetic moments of the nuclei. "The precise measurements yielded by this method made possible such subsequent applications as the atomic clock . . . and the laser, as well as the nuclear magnetic resonance imaging used in diagnostic medicine. Rabi's method provided the central technique for virtually all molecular and atomic beam experimentation" (Encyclopaedia Britannica). Magnetic resonance is not only of central importance in physics, but is also the foundation of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which revolutionized medical imaging in the last decades of the twentieth century.

1st Edition. FIRST EDITION IN ORIGINAL WRAPS OF ISIDOR RABI'S INVENTION OF "A MOLECULAR BEAM MAGNETIC RESONANCE METHOD IBY USING TWO MAGNETS IN SUCCESSION TO PRODUCE INHOMOGENEOUS" (Krems, Cold Molecules, p. 510). "The importance of the role that atomic and molecular beams have played in physics and chemistry cannot be overstated. In Rabi's setup, the deflection of particles caused by the first magnet was compensated for by the second magnet such that the particles were directed on a sigmoidal pathe to the detector. A transition to 'other states of space quantization,' induced between the two magnetic sections could be detected via the resulting reduction of the detector signal" (ibid). In 1938 and in another paper, Rabi briefly reported the use of NMR to measure the nuclear magnetic moment; this, the 1939 paper, is the second and more complete report.
