In modern physics, the term "magnetic resonance" (MR) is understood as a set of phenomena accompanied by the emission or absorption of electromagnetic waves of the radio-frequency range by quantum systems (nuclei, electrons, atoms, molecules, etc.). These phenomena, the physical nature of which is of independent interest, form the basis of radiospectroscopic methods for studying the structure of matter and physicochemical processes in it. The use of MR for the study of condensed matter was implemented after recording electron spin resonance (EPR, 1944), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR, 1946), and nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR, 1950) in these objects. In particular, one of the most important achievements of NMR applications is magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), an interdisciplinary field of science located at the intersection of physics, chemistry, computer science, engineering, and medicine. Despite the numerous advantages and achievements of modern MRI methods, the search for new methodological techniques continues. One of the promising areas of MRI diagnostics is the mapping of the distribution and state of nuclei other than 1H. At present, the development of MR continues in various directions, and the purpose of this special issue is to reflect some interesting aspects of current trends in MR, which may result in new methodologies and important practical applications.
