Abstract An overview is presented of recent progress in the solid‐state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) observation of low‐ γ nuclei, with a focus on applications to inorganic materials. The technological and methodological advances in the last 20 years, which have underpinned the increased accessibility of low‐ γ nuclei for study by solid‐state NMR techniques, are summarised, including improvements in hardware, pulse sequences and associated computational methods (e.g., first principles calculations and spectral simulation). Some of the key initial observations from inorganic materials of these nuclei are highlighted along with some recent (most within the last 10 years) illustrations of their application to such materials. A summary of other recent reviews of the study of low‐ γ nuclei by solid‐state NMR is provided so that a comprehensive understanding of what has been achieved to date is available.
