Fundamental understanding of electron-solid interactions is key to interpreting electron microscopy images for quantitative metrology. Scanning electron
The goal of the project is to develop measurement methods to characterize the nanoscale structure and dynamics of polymer electrolyte membranes (PEMs) to enable
The Cellular Engineering Group is working to engineer components of living cells to sense environmental fluctuations induced by contaminants within their
We work to engineer novel function in GPCRs using a microbial platform. This enables rapid, and multi-objective engineering, to precisely characterize and tune
Nanoparticle-based consumer products are becoming available in the market at an increasing rate, but the safety of nanoparticles and the environmental fate of
The metabolomics program at NIST is a collaboration between multiple institutions located at the Hollings Marine Laboratory (HML) in Charleston, SC. This
Rather than relying on templates, processing complex metrology data can be automated to reduce both the time required and the potential for transcription and
In July 2014, ERCC members initiated the ERCC 2.0 effort to develop an updated suite of RNA controls that will keep pace with advances in RNA measurement
As a result of the environmental impact of mercury and the neurotoxic risk associated with trophic transfer of methyl mercury to humans, the reduction of
The state of the art for measurement and inspection of the smallest printed features on an integrated circuits (IC) chip is a combination of electron scanning
Microfluidic technologies show promise as miniaturized, portable platforms for cell assays, but must be tested to establish confidence of within-device
Cell counting is a fundamental measurement in biotechnology and is especially important for novel cell-based therapies, where cell count-based measurements are
NIST assigns assay values for a suite of high-purity reagents using two techniques: coulometry and titrimetry. Coulometry is based on Faraday's Laws of
Proteins are of significant interest as potential indicators (biomarkers) of health or disease. Clinical methods employed to measure these analytes are often
NIST is engaged in a joint effort between the Material Measurement Laboratory (MML) and the Physical Measurement Laboratory (PML) aimed at revolutionizing 3D
With increasing use of data-driven methodologies, concerns around data discovery, data access, and data interoperability have come to the forefront. Communities
The Materials Data Curation System has the potential to accelerate interoperable data exchange within materials science and engineering. This platform is
Our objective is to evaluate mechanisms of fatigue in bulk silicon, a material that has been traditionally considered to be immune to degradation of mechanical
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS) established a Fatty
The goal of this focus area is to leverage the wealth of chemical information present in fingerprint deposits for novel forensic applications. This includes
FiPy is an open software framework, designed to facilitate sharing of simulation codes for microstructural evolution in support of the Materials Genome
