Understanding how the gel is assembled at the atomic scale required a technique called Magic Angle Spinning Nuclear Magnetic Resonance. A tiny quantity of gel was packed into a ceramic rotor like this and spun at nearly one million revolutions per minute inside a powerful magnet. The measurements revealed how palladium atoms connect the foldamer molecules to form the gel’s molecular backbone.
