What is nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)?




Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a process in which the nuclei of certain atoms absorb energy from an external magnetic field. Scientists use NMR spectroscopy to identify unknown compounds, check for impurities, and study the shapes of molecules. This technology takes advantage of the fact that different atoms will absorb electromagnetic energy at slightly different frequencies.
