The resolution of magic angle spinning (MAS) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra remains bounded by the spinning frequency, which is limited by the material strength of MAS rotors. Since diamond is capable of withstanding 1.5–2.5x greater MAS frequencies, compared to state-of-the art zirconia, we fabricated rotors from single crystal diamond. When combined with bearings optimized for spinning with helium gas, diamond rotors could achieve the highest MAS frequencies to date. Furthermore, the excellent microwave transmission properties and thermal conductivity of diamond could improve sensitivity enhancements in dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) experiments. The fabrication protocol we report involves novel laser micromachining and produced rotors that presently spin at ω_r = 111.000 ± 0.004 kHz, with stable spinning up to 124 kHz, using N₂ gas as the driving fluid. Here, we present the first proton-detected ¹³C/¹⁵N MAS spectra recorded using diamond rotors, a critical step towards studying currently inaccessible ex-vivo protein samples with MAS NMR. Previously, the high aspect ratio of MAS rotors (~10:1) precluded fabrication of MAS rotors from diamond.
