Bloch, Felix (1905-83) Swiss-born American physicist who invented the technique of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) in 1946 (as did Edward Purcell, independently). This led to the extensive use of NMR in investigating the structue of complex molecules. Bloch and Purcell shared the 1952 Nobel Prize for physics for their work in this field. Bloch also worked on the quantum theory of solids.
