G. Usevičius, M. Šimėnas, B. L. Geoghegan, O. W. Kennedy, I. Pocius, P. Hogan, A.
Villanueva Ruiz de Temino, J.-B. Verstraete, P. Verbaitytė, A. Chatziathanasiou, G.
Antilen Jacob, M. Kamarauskas, M. Treideris, P. Gečys, J. Alexander, V. Kalendra, J.
Banys, M. M. Roessler, J. J. L. Morton. Versatile high-sensitivity EPR using
superconducting spiral microresonators. Small Methods 10, e70486 (2026)
Statement from the Judging panel: We selected this paper for the Best Paper Award because it has the potential to make a broad and lasting impact on the field of EPR spectroscopy. By achieving a three-orders-of-magnitude improvement in pulsed EPR sensitivity while maintaining compatibility with conventional instrumentation, the work opens new opportunities for high-sensitivity EPR applications across diverse research fields.
