Then, the university researchers determined the compound's molecular structure using nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry, named it orfamide N after the family of molecules it belongs to, and investigated its biological activity.

It used analytical techniques such as size exclusion chromatography, nuclear magnetic resonance, and scanning electron microscopy allowing scientists to examine not just how the teabags had changed visibly but also structurally.

Using a combination of advanced techniques including single crystal X-ray diffraction, solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance and scanning transmission electron microscopy, the researchers found evidence of anisotropic atomic displacements of the titanium atoms in BaTiS3.

Patterson credited talented graduate students, a diverse interdisciplinary team cooperating across campus and coast-to-coast, and the availability of technologies such as mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance platforms for making his lab's discoveries possible.

“You have to be worrying about the supply at all times,” says Sophia Hayes, a chemist at Washington University in St. Louis who uses nuclear magnetic resonance machines to study the structure of materials.
