Version 2.9 of the Spinach library is now available on the Theoretical and Computational Spin Dynamics Group web site and GitHub with many new features for EPR, NMR and DNP: http://spindynamics.org. It will shortly be available at NMRBox https://nmrbox.nmrhub.org.

chiLife (or ΧLife) is a python package for modeling non-canonical amino acid side chain ensembles, primarily site directed spin labels (SDSLs), and using those ensembles to predict experimental results. The goal of chiLife is to provide a simple, flexible and interoperable python interface to protein side chain ensemble modeling, allowing for rapid development of custom analysis and modeling pipelines. See https://github.com/StollLab/chiLife.

csdmpy is a Python support package for the core scientific dataset (CSD) model file exchange format. The package is based on the core scientific dataset (CSD) model (link is external), which is designed as a building block in the development of a more sophisticated portable scientific dataset file standard and is capable of handling a wide variety of scientific datasets both within and across disciplinary fields https://csdmpy.readthedocs.io.

mrsimulator 1.0 has been released (2025) and is an open-source Python package for fast computation/analysis of solid-state magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of both crystalline and amorphous materials https://mrsimulator.readthedocs.io.

A significant part of the archive of Dr. Barry Shapiro’s NMR Newsletters is now available online at the ISMAR website. These letters are an important part of the history of magnetic resonance and should not be lost to current and future generations of spectroscopists. They were used as a quick and informal exchange of information. Many new developments in the field were announced there first. But they often also reflect a lighter side of NMR spectroscopy. Thanks to ISMAR and support by the Shapiro family for this project, these letters are now available to browse and read.
303 of the 516 issues were scanned and uploaded. For the 213 remaining ones we would like to ask the community to look in their libraries and bookshelves for the missing issues. Please send PDF’s to clemens.anklin@bruker.com or if you prefer to send the hard copy contact Clemens for a mailing address (Clemens Anklin, Stephan Grzesiek and Frances Separovic).

Martin Dračínský and the NMR-challenge team have prepared a new interactive website, where you can solve the structures of small organic compounds from 1D and 2D NMR spectra. Feel free to spread the link or use the website for teaching. Enjoy the NMR challenge!

EquipSent Enable Education - Everywhere. Education and research in low-income countries is severly hindered by lack of funding for scientific equipment - while in high-income countries, such devices are being discarded when they come of age and are still functional. EquipSent seeks to bridge these two dilemmas. Join us to enable education, everywhere!

NMR Zoo from RU Nijmegen are programs for NMR data processing, analysis and education. All these programs are free to use and open-source. The authors welcome feedback and questions. Please see https://www.mrrc.nl/software and includes:

ssNake ssNake is a versatile, cross-platform, open source NMR data processing and analysis program, with a particular focus on solid state NMR;

Magpie Magpie is a virtual liquid state NMR spectrometer based on the Bloch equations. It can be used for the initial training of students on e.g. setting adequate acquisition parameters, calibrating pulses, and determining relaxation times;

Shimpanzee Shimpanzee is a program to teach students about shimming. It simulates spectral lineshapes as a function of shim settings and rotor angle.
