The increased performance of modern computational systems has enabled the size and time scales of materials models to be increased significantly. In parallel
Scanning probe technology is an essential tool for measuring nanostructure properties. A major goal in our project is to develop unique probes that combine
We focus on developing methods for performing precision optical spectroscopy in compact, manufacturable devices based on warm atomic vapors. Projects range from
Integrated photonics uses micro-and nano-fabrication techniques to develop compact devices that can replace bulk optics. Low size, weight, and power (SWAP)
Achieving national goals of net zero energy buildings requires substantial reduction in the energy consumption of commercial building systems. Although
A bilateral intercomparison of calibrations performed at the Metrology Light Source (MLS) of the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) in Berlin, Germany
Some of the Multimodal Information Group's project areas span across multiple research areas within the group or to other groups in IAD. These interdisciplinary
INFER is an NIST Innovations in Measurement Science (IMS) project that seeks to develop far field neutron interferometers to create multi-scale images (three
The goal is to apply Quantum Information Processing techniques to improve the performance of perfect-crystal neutron interferometers by making the final
The Neutron Interferometer and Optics Facility continues to provide high precision measurements of scattering lengths for the purpose of improving few-body
We have designed a new type of neutron interferometer that will be less sensitive to slow vibrations. The design improves the interferometer sensitivity and
The realization of Quantum 2.0 devices will require the development of new types of materials. Here we apply the techniques of neutron interferometry to study
Three separate interlaboratory comparison exercises for environmental contaminants in marine specimens were administered in 2007/2008 by the Chemical Sciences
The Gas Metrology Group periodically participates in bilateral and multi-laboratory international comparisons. During the past two years comparisons have taken
Because of NIST's role as the National Metrology Institute (NMI) in the U.S., the Chemical Sciences Division's measurement capabilities must be benchmarked
The International System of Units (SI) provides definitions of units of measurement that are widely accepted in science and technology and which set measurement
ITL’s Internet Infrastructure Protection (IIP) program, led by the Advanced Network Technologies Division (ANTD), works with industry to develop the measurement
Public safety works across a diverse geographic environment. Even with a high availability of the Long Term Evolution (LTE) radio access network (RAN) provided
Diverse biological sciences, from engineering to epidemiology, benefit from an increased understanding of how genetic code (genotype) determines downstream
Ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) is widely used for national security and law enforcement, placed at key transportation checkpoints such as airports and border
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) conducted and managed the Iris Challenge Evaluation (ICE) projects. The ICE 2005 was a technology
