Buried truth: High-field magic angle spinning dynamic nuclear polarization (MAS DNP) enhances the sensitivity of solid-state NMR spectroscopy, but only for protonated surfaces. Direct 29Si DNP using biradical TOTAPOL (see picture) circumvents this limitation by producing a 30-fold enhancement subsurface signals in mesoporous silica, material with applications photonics, nanotechnology and catalysis.
