Ensembles of nuclear spins display thermal fluctuations—spin noise—that interfere with nuclear magnetic resonance measurements of samples below a threshold size. Experiments on nanowires show that by monitoring spin noise in real time and applying instantaneously adjusted radiofrequency pulses, spin polarization distributions that are narrower than the thermal distribution can be obtained.
