EPA Protocol gas mixture calibration standards are obtained by users to measure emissions of regulated gaseous species and ensure that they comply with US
The U.S. economy depends on manufacturing as a significant contributor for jobs, the nation’s economic output, and the production of goods for the world
To accurately interpret the data from fluorescent proteins as reporters of gene activation within living cells, it is important to understand the kinetics of
Reliable computational predictions of flame spread and fire growth can assist in the design and selection of reduced flammability materials. Due to the
Automated vehicles (AVs) will significantly impact our daily lives and improve the competitiveness of our economy. Advances in communications capabilities – for
As part of NIST's response to the Materials Genome Initiative (MGI), this project addresses the need for automation for the assembly and distribution of
Our objective is to support the efforts of the US automotive industry and its suppliers to incorporate advanced lightweight materials for improving fuel economy
We use autonomous experimentation to elucidate the role of composition, processing, and microstructure on the aqueous corrosion of complex metal alloys. To do
Autonomous systems must function correctly in an enormous range of environments. For example, self-driving cars must deal with lighting, rain, fog, pedestrians
We are developing novel machine learning algorithms and incorporating them into closed-loop autonomous systems to accelerate knowledge capture in the lab and in
Public Law 100-235, "The Computer Security Act of 1987," mandated NIST and OPM to create guidelines on computer security awareness and training based on
This test builds on and extends a previous NASCTN project that measured the out-of-band (OoB) LTE evolved Node B (eNB) and User Equipment AWS-3 emissions into
The Alpha-Gamma device is a totally-absorbing neutron detector that has been used to measure the absolute neutron fluence of a cold, monoenergetic neutron beam
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Radioactivity Group, and the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) of the UK, exchanged 210Pb solution
Liquid scintillators have been at the heart of radiation measurements at NIST for decades. NIST scientists have pushed the limits of liquid scintillation-based
Measurements of radium isotopes in the naturally-occurring radioactive decay chains (i.e., 235U, 238U, and 232Th) are exceedingly important for various
Members of the Radioactivity Group (RG) have been actively collaborating with statisticians in the NIST Statistical Engineering Division to identify new tools
Ni-63 is of considerable interest and importance in radionuclidic metrology as well as for radiation protection surveillance around nuclear facilities.
Collaboration on investigating the thermodynamics of radon binding with a new and novel class of cryptophane molecules was completed with researchers from the
