The division is one of the two central parts of the State Key Laboratory of Magnetic Resonance and Atomic amd Molecular Physics. It is established under the guidance of earlier generation of physicists Professor Tianjuan Wang and Academician Chaohui Ye. The major efforts of the research are to develop new spectroscopic and imaging methods and techniques, and to apply the existing and the newly developed methods and techniques to answer basis questions in biomedicine, neuroscience and material science.

　　The division has long been the leader in the nuclear magnetic resonance study in China. It has made important contributions in advancing the fields, including: Produced the dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) spectrometer with the highest frequency and largest microwave power in the world; Reported pulse Fourier transform of the secondary resonance NMR phenomenon for the first time in the world; Revealed the physical nature of the radial damping effect in NMR experiment; Established the methods for water supression (W5) and the recovery of spectrum under the water peak; Advanced the theory of Raman-NMR; Set up a series of protocols for obtaining the dynamic information of protein side-chains, measuring the in vivo ATP synthesis rate, determining the diffusion and the interaction of biomolecules, editing complex NMR spectra, and selectively detecting of maximum quantum correlation spectrum (MAXY). More recently, the division has attracted a cluster of young scientists with background in chemistry and biomedicine through the “Hundred-talent Project” of the Chinese Academy of Science, gradually forming the core of a group using NMR and MRI as one of the major tools to answer fundamental questions in life science and neuroscience.
