By the time of the 50th anniversary of the discovery of EPR by Zavoisky the modest instrument in Kazan had evolved into highly sophisticated commercial spectrometers and many methods for detecting electron spins and their interactions with their environment. Our edited book in recognition of the 50th anniversary (Foundations of Modern EPR) captured recollections from early contributors to the field, snap-shots of current capabilities, and hopes for the future. As the technology has advanced, a recurring theme has been that personal communication and collaborations between spectroscopists and people with difficult scientific problems are central to the progress of science. New applications have driven advancements in instrument and methods. Another theme has been that improvements in signal-to-noise make new experiments possible that we could not have imagined 30 years ago. This special issue of Applied Magnetic Resonance contains reports that both confirm the youthfulness of EPR and point toward even more exciting future developments.

    Kev M. Salikhov

    Prof. Kev M. Salikhov graduated from the Kazan State University in 1959. Since 1988 he works at the Zavoisky Physical-Technical Institute (Kazan) as Director (1988-2015) and as Institute’s Scientific Advisor (2015 - until present). Kev Salikhov did outstanding contribution to the theory of pulse EPR spectroscopy and its applications, to theoretical foundations of spin chemistry and developed new paradigm of bimolecular spin exchange in dilute solutions of paramagnetic species. He is founder and Editor-in-Chief of Applied Magnetic Resonance, Lenin Prize Winner, Fellow and Gold Awardee of the International EPR/ESR society and Fellow of ISMAR.
