Nuclear magnetic resonance

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a physical phenomenon based upon the magnetic property of an atom's nucleus. NMR studies a magnetic nucleus, like that of a hydrogen atom, by aligning it with an external magnetic field and perturbing this alignment using an electromagnetic field. The response to the field (the perturbing), is what is exploited in NMR spectroscopy and magnetic resonance imaging.
