Mechanical strain impacts the performance of semiconductor devices. Manufacturing processes must be carefully controlled for strain to achieve high-yield and
We are witnessing the emergence of a web based "data rich" era on chemical and biological compounds. In order to make significant advances in this "data rich"
Microbeam X-ray fluorescence (µXRF) has been used nondestructively to investigate elemental heterogeneity by constructing two-dimensional maps of elemental
Protein-based drugs can degrade by aggregation into micrometer-sized particles. Such particles, although only a minute fraction of the total protein, sometimes
Through the NIST BNL partnership, the Resonant Scattering and Diffraction project seeks to develop and operate synchrotron measurements that provide spatial
A core competency of the NIST BNL strategic partnership, the Absorbance Spectroscopy effort in the Synchrotron Science Group seeks to develop measurements that
The Spectroscopic Imaging project develops hyperspectral imaging capabilities the probe the chemical, electronic, and physical structure in advanced materials.

The Thin Film Electronics Project develops rigorous measurements and methodology needed for continued U.S. leadership in manufacturing and innovation of
We use physics theories to understand and simulate the interaction of electrons, light, and mechanical probes with nanometer-scale structures, devices and
The NIST Time Measurement and Analysis Service (TMAS) was designed to serve any organization that is required to maintain an accurate local time standard. The
Time-resolved-emission microscopy (TREM) is a workhorse of semiconductor circuit evaluation. However, as transistor dimensions and power-supply voltages have
Cell viability is often measured as a quality metric of tissue engineered medical products. However, there are a number of inherent assumptions about cell
Standard Reference Materials® ( SRMs®) and commercially produced, NIST-traceable materials for UV/visible/NIR spectrophotometry are transfer standards that
The Gas Sensing Metrology Group in the Chemical Sciences Division is tasked with providing traceability in gas analysis for the U.S. This group works with
Today, demonstration vehicles are refueled with hydrogen from dispensers within 3 to 5 minutes using sequential gas releases from a bank of pressurized
Develop critical thermal and electrical transport measurement methods, instrumentation, and reference materials needed to support the development, performance
Accurate flow measurements are needed for test fluids, temperatures, pressures, flows, and installation conditions that differ from those used during NIST's
"Shrinkflation" is now a common term to describe how consumer products are sold at the same price, but contents have been slightly reduced. Consumers can use an
Compared with conventional, physical measurements, the cost of computational modeling continues to drop. This has driven many industries to incorporate
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS) established a Vitamin
Wastewater surveillance is a promising approach to monitor biological and chemical contaminants on a community level, as demonstrated by its re-emergence as a
Adhering to the commercial vehicle maximum weight limits established by state and federal authorities is critically important to protect our aging road
Working Group 1 will work on identification of currently used national and international standards, guidelines and other relevant documents, as well as terms
