    Why do deshielded protons require more energy in NMR spectroscopy?

    Gotcha. You can mark this thread as solved as I understand now. Thanks for your help! :)

    Why do deshielded protons require more energy in NMR spectroscopy?

    So the frequency refers to amount of energy being absorbed/emitted by the proton? Or the amount of energy in the radiowave being shot at the sample?

    Why do deshielded protons require more energy in NMR spectroscopy?

    As you move to the left in the NMR spectrum, the protons become more deshielded. So why is it that they require MORE energy to change their spin? If they don't require more energy, then why is the left side labeled as high frequency? Thanks.

    Can I Take The MCAT Despite Not Being in School?

    I have my four-year degree, but I didn't pursue my doctoral or master's- just started working. My question is: can I take the MCAT despite no longer being in school? This would be purely for entertainment purposes (just want to see how difficult it is, etc.). I'm weird, I know. How much would...

    Question About 3D Printing and Cancerous Liver

    Hahaha, I'm totally saying that at my next doctor's appointment.

    Question About 3D Printing and Cancerous Liver

    I'd imagine that if we were able to reliably build fully functional 3D printed organs, survival rates for cancer would be higher (assuming that you didn't get cancer in a body part that isn't replaceable, like the brain for example). I don't want to stray too far off topic, but would the same...

    Question About 3D Printing and Cancerous Liver

    With all the hype of 3D printed organs lately, I've wondered: let's say that someone with terminal cancer in the liver undergoes a liver transplant with a completely new 3D printed organ. Assuming that this was the only organ affected, would this rid them of the cancer? If so, why? And if not...

    Understanding Neuron Polarization

    From what I understand, neurons at rest are in a state of polarization, with Na+ ions abundant on the outside of the cell and K+ ions abundant on the inside of the cell. During depolarization, sodium ions rush in, creating a highly positive charge on the inside of the cell relatively to the...

    Difference Between Stem Cell and Transit Amplifying Cell

    I'm asking what the main difference is between a stem cell and a transit amplifying cell.

    Difference Between Stem Cell and Transit Amplifying Cell

    In as simple-to-understand language as possible, I'm having trouble wrapping my head around this ?:) Thank you in advance everyone.

    What Should I Look For In A Thermal Cycler?

    I'm going to purchase a thermal cycler in the next few days. What qualities should I look for? How much should I spend? This is going to be a personal investment, and I'll have it in my home for periodic experiments at my own amusement.

    Can Gas Particles Ever Stop Moving?

    We know that gas particles move very quickly in random motions in whatever container they are in. My question is: assuming that no gas particles ever exit or enter the container, at what point will the gas particles stop moving? From what I think I understand about the second law of...

    How Much Does It Cost To Start a Lab?

    Hi everyone. Thank you for taking the time to contribute to this thread :) How much does it cost to start a relatively small (750 square foot) biorejuvenation technology research lab? What kinds of materials would be needed to say, culture cells, synthesize proteins, or mess around with biology...

    Can The Human Body Be Expressed Mathematically?

    It would make sense to start off with the smallest building blocks of the human body I guess- and then work your way up? I'll give it a wishful try :)
