Continuous wave nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technology has been instrumental in the development of various devices across multiple fields. Below is a list of these devices, presented in chronological order of their invention.

=== NMR Spectrometer ===
* '''Year of Invention''': 1945
* '''Inventors''': Felix Bloch and Edward Mills Purcell
* '''Description''': The NMR spectrometer was the first device to exploit the principles of NMR. It was used to measure the magnetic properties of atomic nuclei, marking the beginning of NMR spectroscopy.

=== MRI Scanner ===
* '''Year of Invention''': 1970s
* '''Inventors''': Raymond Damadian, Paul Lauterbur, and Peter Mansfield
* '''Description''': Although modern MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scanners use pulse sequences rather than continuous wave NMR, the initial concepts and some early implementations were based on CW NMR principles. MRI scanners are used for detailed imaging of tissues in the human body.

=== CW NMR Relaxometer ===
* '''Year of Invention''': Specific dates vary by development, but generally in the late 20th century
* '''Description''': CW NMR relaxometers measure the relaxation times of nuclear spins in a sample. They are used in various research and industrial applications, including food quality control and material science.

=== NMR Gyroscope ===
* '''Year of Invention''': Development in the late 20th to early 21st century
* '''Description''': The NMR gyroscope uses the precession of nuclear spins in a magnetic field to measure orientation and rotation. It represents a high-precision navigation tool without the need for external references.

=== NMR Logging Tools ===
* '''Year of Invention''': Developed in the late 20th century
* '''Description''': Used in the oil and gas industry, NMR logging tools exploit CW NMR to analyze the properties of rock and fluids in boreholes, aiding in the assessment of hydrocarbon reserves.
