ICONS2020, the Intercontinental NMR Seminar, organized during August 26–28, 2020, was the first of a new on-line magnetic resonance conference series. It was an off-shoot of the weekly Intercontinental NMR Seminar Series that started on April 8, 2020. This seminar series enables communication and dissemination of research ideas among the magnetic research community especially in the times of the COVID-19 pandemic. The seminar and ICONS series cover various aspects of magnetic resonance, both electron and nuclear. The seminar series also gives earlystage researchers an opportunity to give seminar talks and interact with colleagues from different countries. The success of the seminar series prompted us to introduce a new conference to highlight the recent research contributions from some of the leading groups in magnetic resonance. ICONS2020 attracted registrations from nearly 550 people spanning 35 countries (in the spirit of the meeting, covering 5 continents). The meeting talks were broadcast across the Zoom and YouTube platforms. The average combined attendance was around 180 with the peak touching 250. The meeting covered a wide range of topics including methods in solid-state * Daniel Abergel [email protected] * Gerd Buntkowsky [email protected]‑darmstadt.de * Konstantin L.

NMR, intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) and 13C detection, relaxation studies, exploiting residual anisotropy in solution-state NMR, NV centers in diamonds, theoretical modeling of dynamics in macromolecules, using probes such as 19F to probe long-range contacts in molecules under fast MAS and DNP conditions, application of solid-state NMR on MOF’s, DNP at higher magnetic fields and MAS frequencies, status and future of dissolution DNP, observations of subtle scalar couplings in fullerene systems alone and trapped with 3He, and scientific amusements. Geoffrey Bodenhausen, ENS Paris, introduced the dissolution DNP technique, which provides enormous signal enhancements. Speaking about DNP methodology and applications, he mentioned not only the strengths of the technique but also about its weaknesses—a part often omitted in papers and conference talks. The bullet-DNP method was then proposed as a possible rem
