Control and measurement of nuclear spins is essential for medicine, chemistry and physics, but the sensitivity of conventional measurement schemes is limited due to low thermal polarization of nuclei under ambient conditions. We use an electron-nuclear double resonance technique, known as Hartmann-Hahn double resonance, to demonstrate experimentally polarization of single and multiple nuclear spins in a room temperature solid. By transferring polarization from an optically cooled electron spin associated with the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) defect, to carbon nuclei we are able to control spin bath dynamics. This work opens new possibilities for different fields of science, from control over decoherence and use of mesoscopic ensemble of nuclear spins as qubits to enhancement of contrast in magnetic resonance imaging.
