The Turcu Lab focuses on developing new technologies for Magnetic Resonance (MR) in general and in situ capabilities like:
- Tunable Pressure and Temperature MAS NMR, EPR, DNP
- Electrical Charging/Discharging MAS NMR
- Fluid Tunable Pressure and Flow MRI at variable Temperature in particular.

Magnetic Resonance is a non-destructive technique which allows probing the structure and dynamics of materials regardless the system is in liquid, solid, gaseous or supercritical state. Imaging presentation of the phenomena is the most know application of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). Today, Clinical MRI is one of the most widespread toll for non-invasive human body investigation.

Over the last seven decades continuous developments in the field has allowed to impressive achievements in addressing numerous biological, chemical and physical problems across scientific disciplines. The spectrum of industrial applications has been permanently broadened out.

After developing a new O-ring free rotor-type sample holder for MAS NMR/EPR/DNP capable to allow in situ Tunable Pressure and Temperature (TPT) analysis we are now focus on developing the in situ electrical charging/discharging MAS NMR and fluid tunable pressure and flow MRI at variable temperatures capabilities, respectively.
