Erwin Hahn is recognized among Jewish contributors to Science & Medicine — Physicist who discovered the spin echo in nuclear magnetic resonance
Hahn, an American Jew, worked chiefly at the University of California, Berkeley. In 1950 he discovered the spin echo in nuclear magnetic resonance — showing that dephased nuclear spins can be refocused to re-emit a coherent signal — an effect that underlies modern NMR spectroscopy and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). He was Jewish.
