"Famous" NMR Spectroscopists

In the Jan 1999 issue of Scientific American, the Amateur Scientist
column described a device for detecting fluctuations in the earth's
magnetic field. A challenge was made that "someone" could improve
the device- in particular convert it into a research grade
instrument.

The March 2000 issue has an article on that improved device, to
quote: "Joseph A. DiVerdi of Fort Collins, CO has met that
challenge brilliantly". (and done it using a Helmholtz coil!)

For those that don't know him, Joe is an NMR jock who worked for
Chemagnetics and is now connected with XTR Systems. Details of his
device are at http://www.xtrsystems.com/magnetometer

A dozen, a gross and a score,
Plus three times the square root of four
        Divided by seven
        Plus five times eleven
Is nine-squared plus zero, no more.
