Rotating Light Provides Indirect Look into the Nucleus

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is one of the best tools for gaining insight into the structure and dynamics of molecules and how they behave in a variety of chemical environments. Now researchers in New York have described in The Journal of Chemical Physics an alternative way to get this information, by using light to observe nuclei indirectly via the orbiting electrons.
