✦ Synopsis

This award is named in memory of Isidor Isaac Rabi, physicist, statesman, and pioneer of modern science. During the 1930s Rabi and his co-workers at Columbia University developed and used nuclear magnetic resonance methods to measure. with extreme accuracy, the magnetic properties of nuclei. This work earned Rabi the 1944 Nobel prize in physics and directly stimulated research on collective nuclear magnetic resonance in solids and liquids, which has led to magnetic resonance spectroscopy and imaging. I. I. Rabi died in 1988 at the age of 89.
