Over the course of its history, the field of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy has been characterized by alternating periods of intensive instrumentation development and rapid expansion into new chemical application areas. NMR is now both a mainstay of routine analysis for laboratories at all levels of education and research. On the other hand, new instrumentation and methodological advances promise expanded functionality in the future. At the core of this success is a community fundamentally dedicated to sharing ideas and collaborative advancements, as exemplified by the extensive remixing and repurposing of pulse sequences. Recent progress in modularity, automation, and 3D printing have reignited the tinkering spirit and demonstrate great promise to mature into a maker space that will enable similarly facile sharing of new applications and broader access to magnetic resonance.

在其历史进程中，核磁共振波谱领域的特点是仪器的密集开发和新化学应用领域的快速扩展交替出现。NMR 现在已成为各级教育和研究实验室常规分析的支柱。另一方面，新的仪器和方法的进步有望在未来扩展功能。这一成功的核心是一个从根本上致力于分享想法和协作进步的社区，脉冲序列的广泛重新混合和重新利用就是例证。模块化、自动化和 3D 打印方面的最新进展重新点燃了修补精神，并展示了成熟为创客空间的巨大前景，该空间将能够同样轻松地共享新应用程序并更广泛地获得磁共振。
