NMR spectroscopy continues to evolve, with publications in 2008 providing an eclectic collection of applications, advances and incremental improvements. This article covers rapid acquisition methods, DNP, force-microscopy, SQUID, traditional solids and liquids, solid-state, and computational aspects of NMR spectroscopy. I am indebted to the great and the good whose work has been reported here, all credit is theirs; errors, omissions and blame are all mine.
