* '''Novice KBs''': Designed for newcomers to NMR, these KBs introduce key applications of NMR across a broad range of scientific domains. NMR is among the most versatile tools for studying matter, and these pages showcase its wide range of uses. Each novice KB includes links to:
* '''Novice Knowledgebases''' – tutorials and worked examples that **demonstrate practical problem-solving with NMR**
** '''Literature Vignettes''': Concise summaries of published studies where NMR played a central role in solving a scientific problem.
* '''Literature Vignettes''' – short case studies from published research 
** '''Materials Periodic Table''': A solid-state focused table with isotope-specific novice KBs, highlighting applications of NMR-active nuclei in material science.
* '''Periodic Table Explorer''' – nucleus-by-nucleus reference for solid-state NMR
* '''KB Datasets''' – fully annotated datasets that accompany the above material

** '''Raw and processed datasets''' 
** '''Sample metadata''' including preparation protocols, experiment setup, and data processing steps 
** '''Processing scripts''' to allow users to reproduce analysis workflows


Each KB entry may include:
Each KB dataset is curated with detailed metadata and designed to be instructive, reusable, and accessible to both novice and experienced users.

Knowledgebases

The Network for Advanced NMR (NAN) provides a suite of Knowledgebases (KBs) to help users explore how NMR can be applied to address important scientific questions. These Knowledgebases are grouped into two main types:

  • Novice KBs: Designed for newcomers to NMR, these KBs introduce key applications of NMR across a broad range of scientific domains. NMR is among the most versatile tools for studying matter, and these pages showcase its wide range of uses. Each novice KB includes links to:
    • Literature Vignettes: Concise summaries of published studies where NMR played a central role in solving a scientific problem.
    • Materials Periodic Table: A solid-state focused table with isotope-specific novice KBs, highlighting applications of NMR-active nuclei in material science.
  • KB Datasets: These are exemplar datasets that provide:
    • Pulse programs used in the experiments
    • Raw and processed datasets
    • Sample metadata including preparation protocols, experiment setup, and data processing steps
    • Processing scripts to allow users to reproduce analysis workflows

Each KB dataset is curated with detailed metadata and designed to be instructive, reusable, and accessible to both novice and experienced users.

KB Categories

NAN KBs are organized into four thematic categories, with both novice and dataset content available in each:

  • BioSolids
  • Bio Solutions
  • Material Sciences
  • Metabolomics
