An #OpenSource, low-cost multinuclear #NMR #spectrometer operating in the mT field regime:

-high spectral resolution
-arbitrary #RF pulse programming
-requires #LabVIEW
-cost: k$ 20 (mainly PXI waveform generator & digitizer alone)
-cost could be driven down by half using a home-built RF amplifier made with high-power operational amplifiers

Universal chemical programming language for robotic synthesis repeatability - Nature Synthesis

The use of a universal chemical programming language (χDL) to encode and execute synthesis procedures for a variety of chemical reactions is reported, including reductive amination, ring formation, esterification, carbon–carbon bond formation and amide coupling. These procedures are validated and repeated in two international laboratories and on three independent robots.
