The field of nuclear physics depends upon a working knowledge of atoms and atomic structure. In 1937, Isodor Isaac Rabi was the first to observe the effect known as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) in atoms of silver. Before this time, scientists knew...

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is the effect produced when a radiofrequency field is imposed at right angles to a (usually much larger) static magnetic field to perturb the orientation of nuclear magnetic moments generated by spinning electrically...

A phenomenon exhibited by a large number of atomic nuclei, in which in a static magnetic field absorbs energy from a radio frequency field at certain characteristic...

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a physical phenomenon based upon the quantum mechanical magnetic properties of an atom's nucleus. NMR also commonly refers to a family of scientific methods that exploit nuclear magnetic resonance to study molecules....

Nuclear magnetic resonance papers read like a veritable alphabet soup. There's NOESY, COSY, TOESY, and ROESY; HMQC, HMBC, HSQC, and DEPT. And let's not forget INEPT, INADEQUATE, EXSY, and secSY. It's enough to make a biologist squirm. Yet fundamentally, these experiments all take...

A new nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer is showing researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Sandia National Laboratory how materials age, what gives them their properties, and how to characterize their molecular structures. Sandia has been using the NMR instrument, purchased and...
