Definition
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) refers to a physical resonance phenomenon that is observed when atomic nuclei in a static magnetic field absorb energy from a radio frequency field (or oscillating magnetic field) applied at the resonant frequency of the nuclei. The phenomenon of NMR has been used in a variety of scientific techniques, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
