NMR spectroscopy

NMR spectroscopy, or Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy, is a technique used to study the structure of molecules. It works by applying a strong magnetic field to a sample, causing certain atomic nuclei, like hydrogen, to absorb and emit radio waves. By analyzing these signals, scientists can determine the arrangement of atoms within a molecule, understand its properties, and identify compounds. This method is widely used in chemistry, biology, and medicine, particularly for drug development and studying complex biological systems, due to its ability to provide detailed information about molecular structures without destroying the sample.
