Albert Attalla (1931-2014) was a pioneer of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). He worked as a scientist for Monsanto Research Corporation, Mound Laboratories, in Miamisburg, Ohio, writing many articles about his research, including "Lithium isotopic analysis by nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry."[1]
Birth
Albert Attalla was born in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, on September 29, 1931, to Ida and Farris Attalla in their home.
