Executive summary: Electron paramagnetic resonance English physicist Brebis Bleaney discovered electron paramagnetic resonance (also known as electron spin resonance), a technique that isolates electrons within a paramagnetic substance, with analytical applications in biology, chemistry, and geology as well as physics. He helped develop microwave technology for radar in World War II, then applied these findings to fundamental problems in condensed matter physics, and also contributed important work in atomic beams, low temperature physics, magnetism, nuclear alignment and orientation.
