The unceasing quest for more durable, more environmentally friendly, and less expensive construction materials is compelling the concrete industry to adopt
The Face Recognition Algorithm Independent Evaluation (CHEXIA-FACE) is being conducted to assess the capability of face detection and recognition algorithms to
The misidentification of cell lines has been a problem in the scientific community for the past 50 years. Methods are now in place to genotype human cell lines
Our research focuses on miniaturized laser sources with narrow linewidth that can operate in ambient environments. Lasers with high spectral purity can enable a
With the advent of vSANS, CANDOR, and MACS, which provide accelerated data rates, and the deployment of the new, more flexible, data acquisition system at NIST
High-demand consumable products made from plastics, or those such as consumer electronics like mobile phones, laptops, etc., are particularly problematic and
The Circular Economy: Product Design and Digital Thread project focuses on better managing how products are designed, made, and used in response to the
We aim to identify chemometric fingerprints using artificial intelligence methods that reflect the temporal and geographic history of seabirds, and by extension
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is working to advance measurement capabilities needed to study the world’s climates. Climate Science
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) established the Clinical Measurements Quality Assurance Program (ClinQAP) to support the measurement
An important part of the NIST (National Institute of Science and Technology) MGI (Materials Genome Initiative) effort is to investigate infrastructure and tools

The project develops next-generation procedures for achieving designs that are safe, sustainable, and economical under coastal inundation, consistent with
Every four years, the Committee on Data for Science and Technology (CODATA) issues recommended values of the fundamental physical constants. The values are
We are building a cold-atom based sensor program that represents a new approach to metrology—to establish a set of chip-scale tools that enable real-world use
NIST is building a cold-atom vacuum sensor (CAVS) that will be able to measure pressures in the ultra-high vacuum (UHV) regime corresponding to pressures less
The recent availability of smart home appliances supported by communicant networking has been the main force behind the growing interest in developing advanced
For more than 50 years, Statistical Engineering Division (SED) staff have played a critical role in the success of a broad spectrum of interdisciplinary
NIST recently completed a multi-year study of three structural steel framing systems to evaluate the correlation between ASCE/SEI 7 (ASCE 2010) and ASCE/SEI 41
This project studies the collapse performance of concrete columns that do not meet the stringent reinforcement requirements for special columns defined by ACI
