contents We investigate the spin-interaction energy spectrum of spin turbulence in a driven spinor Bose-Einstein condensate. Continuous spin driving of a spin-1 condensate produces a nonequilibrium steady state with spatially fluctuating magnetization. We observe a power-law scaling consistent with the $-7/3$ exponent predicted for spin-wave turbulence, which persists across our full range of drive strengths despite substantial changes in the spectral anisotropy. After switching off the drive, we track the free-decay evolution and find evidence consistent with a direct cascade of spin-interaction energy toward higher wavenumbers. These results establish an energy-spectral hallmark of spin turbulence and enable quantitative studies of cascade dynamics in spinor superfluids.
