Multi-Field Relaxation Dynamics of Parahydrogen-Hyperpolarized Propane Gas MRI Contrast Agent

Abstract Hyperpolarized gas-phase MRI is an emerging diagnostic modality, with the clinical utility of hyperpolarized Xe-129 gas for functional lung imaging recently supported by FDA regulatory approval. However, the requirement for dedicated multi-nuclear hardware and complex, c...

Ortho-para hydrogen conversion by highly scalable metal-organic frameworks

The catalytic ortho-para hydrogen conversion is a critical step in hydrogen liquefaction for its storage and transportation. While paramagnetic oxides are the standard catalysts, the most commercially prevalent is hydrous iron oxide (FeO(OH)). However, the inherently low catalyti...
