His early career coincided with the arrival of a big new technological advance known as spectroscopy – machines for identifying the chemical structure of molecules.
In 2012, at its 200th meeting, the Infrared and Raman Discussion Group, formed in 1950, created the Norman Sheppard award, now given annually in the field of vibrational spectroscopy.
He went on to help develop new types of rapid precision spectroscopy – including infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance (now widely used in hospitals).
The third trick, astrometry, also relies on the gravitational wobble, but it detects this directly by precise measurement of a star's position.Although Doppler spectroscopy has been the most useful technique until now, its days are probably numbered.
Most known exoplanets have been found by one of three less-direct techniques.The first of these is Doppler spectroscopy , which detects the wobble in a star's movement caused by the gravity of an orbiting planet.
Because many different atomic nuclei resonate at a characteristic radio frequency in a given magnetic field, NMR spectroscopy is now widely used to determine the molecular make-up of chemical compounds.In the late 1960s, Dr Damadian, at the time a physician at State University of New York's medical centre in Brooklyn, was among the first to contemplate using NMR to scan the human body for disease.
They have even used magnetic-resonance spectroscopy , a cousin of a popular form of body scanning, to examine the activity in their muscles of a molecule called adenosine triphosphate, which is the currency in which energy is stored for use in cells.
The advantage of NMR spectroscopy is that it works with molecules in solution, and so allows maps to be made of proteins that will not crystallise.
Analysing that light with spectroscopy should reveal what gases make up the atmosphere and, just possibly, the existence of alien life.
But Raman spectroscopy does its work without so much as touching its subject.Dr Hildred provided two sets of five tibias shin-bones to tibias shin-bones toatheppeared normal and healteam(at least at the time onethe setp's sinking), and one that showed curvappearedaracteristic of rickets, a onormalevandnt disease attributed to malnutrition.
Fourier-transform infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR) shines a beam of infra-red light on to a sample and then detects which wavelengths have been absorbed by various molecules.
