An experimental <physicist> who coauthored <Felix Bloch>'s nuclear-induction experiments. Precessing nuclear magnetization generated a radiofrequency signal in a coil surrounding the sample. Detecting the induced signal made collective nuclear motion directly measurable and helped establish bulk <nuclear magnetic resonance> as a laboratory technique.<The Nuclear Induction Experiment by Felix Bloch and others>[Byline and induction apparatus]{ref}
