A definition or brief description of NMR spectroscopy.

The use of electromagnetic radiation, in the presence of a magnetic field, to obtain information regarding transitions between different nuclear spin states; NMR spectroscopy can be used to determine molecular structures, to quantify inter- and intra-molecular dynamics and to reveal the molecular composition of a bulk sample.
