Highlights
► Advances in hyperpolarization have reduced the SNR gap between 3He and 129Xe. ► 129Xe offers additional information useful in materials and biomedical sciences. ► Non-invasive techniques with 129Xe probe lung morphometry and offer new biomarkers. ► 83Kr with a nuclear electric quadrupole moment provides surface sensitive contrast.
