LEGO NMR Spectrometer

A custom LEGO model of a miniature nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer, complete with building instructions, custom packaging, and a real magnet integrated into the design. The project playfully communicates the miniaturization of magnetic spectroscopy, connecting researchers and broader audiences with the science behind the technology. Commissioned by the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) for the Collaborative Research Centre HyPERiON.
