The latest ultrahigh-field NMR spectrometers are a huge technological challenge that require large financial investments. In his Guest Editorial, Harald Schwalbe justifies the need for spectrometers with higher magnetic field strengths. The important results from previous generations of high-field NMR spectrometers are discussed, and research areas are identified that will benefit from the latest spectrometers.
