October 19, 2012 - Friesen-Waldner, L., et al., Optimisation of dynamic nuclear polarisation of [1-13C] pyruvate by addition of gadolinium-based contrast agents.

Simple and Highly Sensitive Measurement Method for Detection of Glass Transition Temperatures of Polymers: Application of ESR Power Saturation Phenomenon with Conventional Spin-Probe Technique

October 16, 2012 - This is not an article about DNP spectroscopy. However, it shows how EPR spectroscopy and nitroxide spin labels can be used to characterize mobility of soft matter through shape analysis of the EPR spectrum.

Distance measurements across randomly distributed nitroxide probes from the temperature dependence of the electron spin phase memory time at 240GHz

First determination of the spin relaxation properties of a nitronyl nitroxide in solution by electron spin echoes at X-band: A comparison with Tempone

October 10, 2012 - This article describes no DNP results. However, it can be still of interest for the solution-state DNP community since it discusses relaxation times of nitroxide spin-labels.
