Nuclear spins in diamond have applications in quantum technologies and NMR methods but their performance can be limited by relaxation processes that are difficult to characterise. Ajoy et al. develop a T 1 noise spectroscopy method to identify the dominant relaxation channel and propose a mitigation strategy.
