The high-performance AVANCE NEO‑X NMR electronics allows laboratories to upgrade their console generation without disrupting established workflows. The AVANCE NEO‑X console supports liquids, solids, and microimaging NMR with a modular design for evolving experimental requirements.
For quantitative NMR in chemistry, small‑molecule pharmaceutical and industrial applications, the next-gen Advanced Chemical Profiling 2.0 (ACP 2.0) software delivers an automated workflow from acquisition through reporting. By reducing manual interpretation, ACP 2.0 supports accurate quantification of multicomponent spectra across Bruker benchtop and high‑field NMR systems.
The Fourier 80 Duo establishes 80 MHz as an affordable standard for labs transitioning from 60 MHz instruments. With gradient-¹H/¹³C capabilities, solvent suppression and inverse spectroscopy capabilities, the benchtop Fourier 80 Duo delivers high-quality 1D/2D FT-NMR spectra for chemistry.
Bruker is expanding its DNP portfolio with new standard‑bore DNP probes for solid‑state NMR that enable ultra‑high sensitivity on 600 and 800 MHz standard‑bore magnets, as well as on 1.0 and 1.2 GHz systems. These technologically very demanding SB-DNP probes support biosolids applications with HCN designs and extend high-field solid-state DNP for materials applications through fixed-channel configurations. Complementing these solid‑state DNP capabilities, the Dynamis dissolution DNP system enables liquids applications, which were impractical with conventional sensitivity limits. With up to 30,000x ¹³C signal enhancement and 5x–10x faster polarization, the Dynamis supports reproducible, higher‑throughput solution‑state NMR and metabolic MRI studies in catalysis or chemical kinetics.
Bruker also introduces enhanced NMR solutions for structural biology, laboratory automation, and data-driven research and analytical workflows. NMRtist provides AI‑assisted protein NMR data analysis from multidimensional peak picking through resonance assignment and structure calculation also for non-NMR-experts. The new RNA drug discovery by NMR toolkit offers access to optimized experiments, guided workflows, and resources for RNA structure, dynamics, binding studies, and RNA modification analysis, where NMR is the gold standard for solving RNA structures. In solid-state NMR, 160 kHz magic‑angle‑spinning (MAS) solutions enable high-resolution HCN studies of membrane proteins, protein aggregates, and complex biological assemblies.
The Chemspeed automation solutions support scalable and unattended NMR automation by combining standardized sample preparation, automated synthesis or sampling, and online or offline NMR analysis to increase throughput and reduce manual handling. SciYsoftware solutions advance small-molecule data processing and lab digitalization via a vendor‑agnostic backbone that connects instrumentation, automation, and data systems to support traceable workflows, FAIR-ready data, and data-driven decision‑making across AI-assisted or AI-driven R&D or QC laboratories.
“Our ENC 2026 introductions reflect our focus on innovation with impact through NMR technologies and workflows designed to improve productivity, performance and ease-of-use in order to deliver reproducible research and applied results,” said Frank H. Laukien, PhD, President and CEO of Bruker Corporation. “These advances further increase the impact of labs generating unique, high-value NMR insights to work efficiently, automate complex tasks, and complement other methods in structural biology, molecular dynamics, bio-condensates, disordered proteins, membrane proteins and aggregates, as well as in chemistry and small molecule applied, pharma and industrial applications.”

BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — After an election earthquake in which voters overwhelmingly rejected pro-Russian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, Hungarians are contemplating what to expect from the country’s incoming leader, Péter Magyar — a pro-European reformer who has promised a fundamental transformation in Hungary’s political culture.
In his campaign, Magyar pledged to end Hungary’s drift toward Russia and restore its ties with European allies. He promised voters that after 16 years of autocratic governance and the erosion of the rule of law under Orbán, he will root out corruption and create a “peaceful, functioning and humane” Hungary.
But what those changes will look like remains to be seen. During his long time in office, Orbán ruled with the power of a two-thirds parliamentary majority, allowing him to pass a new constitution, rewrite the electoral system and reshape the judiciary.
Magyar’s Tisza party secured exactly such a mandate Sunday when it won 138 of parliament’s 199 seats, giving it broad authority to undo much of the legislation that allowed Orbán to stack the courts, manipulate the electoral system, crack down on press freedom and discriminate against the LGBTQ+ community.
Still, there are potential pitfalls that could stand in the way of the radical changes many Hungarians had hoped for.
Magyar’s victory was met with jubilation on the streets of Budapest late Sunday with tens of thousands, many of them young people, celebrating what they view as a ray of hope that Orbán’s loss will make Hungary freer, happier and firmly rooted within the fold of European democracies.
On streets and avenues across the capital, drivers blared car horns and cranked up anti-government songs while people marching in the streets chanted and screamed.
During the celebrations, Adrien Rixer said he’d come back to Hungary from his home in London “because I really wanted to make my vote count, and I’m over the moon.”
“Finally I can say that I’m a proud Hungarian, finally after 16 years,” he said.
Many Hungarians, and others across Europe who were closely watching the election, had feared that a simple majority for Tisza would have been inadequate to truly transform Orbán’s system.
Yet others remain uncertain about what the authority of a two-thirds majority will bring, with some uneasy about taking such a mandate from Orbán and delivering it to his opponent.
“Its hard to see that with two-thirds that it's going to be a fair government, but we will see,” said reveller Dániel Kovács. “Lets hope that it’s going to be a promising four years.”
The election win for Magyar and Tisza was without precedent in Hungary's post-Communist history: They received more votes and more parliamentary seats than any party ever had before.
Bulcsú Hunyadi, an analyst with the Budapest-based think tank Political Capital, said that while Tisza's constitutional majority gives it broad powers to roll back many of Orbán's policies, Hungary's key institutions are “led by people who are cemented in their position for many years.”
As part of his broader effort to consolidate control over Hungary’s democratic system, Orbán installed loyal allies at the helm of key institutions, from the media authority to the public prosecutor’s office and the Constitutional Court.
In several cases, mandates were extended or new appointments pushed through before existing terms had expired — moves that effectively kept loyal leadership locked in place for years, well beyond any potential change in government.
In his victory speech on Sunday, Magyar called for such officials — including Hungary's president — to step down of their own accord. Beyond that, Hunyadi said, “they don’t really have any other tools to remove these people.”
Magyar accuses Orbán and his government of mismanaging Hungary’s economy and social services, and overseeing unchecked corruption he says has led to the accumulation of extreme wealth within a small circle of well-connected insiders while leaving ordinary Hungarians behind.
He’s vowed to hold such abuses to account, and plans to create an Office for the Recovery and Protection of National Assets to reclaim what he says are Orbán’s allies' ill-gotten gains.
Magyar campaigned heavily on a promise to bring home billions of euros in European Union funding that has been frozen to Hungary over corruption and rule-of-law concerns under Orbán. He’s also pledged to introduce the euro to Hungary by 2030 — something Orbán’s government long resisted.
Hunyadi, the analyst, said Magyar's government will be under “tight pressure” by the EU to quickly carry out reforms in order to get access to those frozen funds that are badly needed by Hungary's faltering economy.
“There are deadlines in terms of unfreezing the funds. They will have to deliver certain laws and reforms by August this year, which is only a few months away,” he said.
Tisza's win raised hopes across the EU that a new government in Budapest would reverse Orbán's antagonistic approach to Ukraine and his obstruction of efforts to assist the war-ravaged country as it defends against Russia's full-scale invasion.
Orbán has used his veto power in the EU to stymie sanctions on Russia and block crucial funding to Kyiv. He's also vowed never to allow talks on Ukraine joining the EU to resume.
In a statement on Monday, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said Orbán's election campaign, “which unfortunately was marked by manipulative rhetoric about Ukraine, is now behind us.”
“We expect that ... the election results will also contribute to a normalization of political relations,” Sybiha said.
