NMR diffusion measurements (or dNMR) provide a powerful tool for analysis of solution organization and microgeometry of the environment by probing random molecular motion. Being a very versatile method, dNMR can be applied to a large variety of samples and systems. Here, a brief introduction into dNMR and a summary of recent advances in the field are presented. The research topics include restricted diffusion, anisotropic diffusion, polymer dynamics, solution structuring and dNMR method development. The dNMR studied systems include plants, cells (cell models), liquid crystals, polymer solutions, ionic liquids, supercooled solutions, untreated water, amino acid solutions and more. It is demonstrated how a variety of dNMR methods can be applied to a system to extract the data on particular structures present among, formed by or surrounding the diffusing particles. It is also demonstrated how dNMR methods can be developed to allow probing larger geometries, low sample concentrations and faster processes. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
