Fourier transform spectroscopy.

E D Becker, T C Farrar

    Science (New York, N.Y.)

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Fourier transform (FT) methods are revolutionizing spectroscopy by rapidly acquiring data. This enables the study of transient species and improves signal-to-noise ratios, especially for low-sensitivity nuclei like Carbon-13 (¹³C).
