In the Internet, laser light is used to carry signals to intended destinations. Such optical communications enabled the establishment of the global Internet and
The potential of quantum communications lies in the phenomena called "entanglement." It involves entangling two or more subatomic particles, like photons, which
Atoms are notoriously difficult to control. They zigzag like fireflies, tunnel out of the strongest containers and jitter even at temperatures near absolute
After a year of virtual collaboration, international and NIST researchers involved in a federated 5G Testbed development effort, called “Project Agility,” held
With the increasing use of distributed energy resources (DER) – solar, wind, and more – to generate power, organizations have developed standards for their
NIST's Smart Grid Group leader, Avi Gopstein, was featured on Smart Grid Today's podcast, released May 12, 2022. Ideally, said Gopstein, the smart grid's many
Advances in the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence are part of a new industrial revolution to make manufacturing faster, better, and cheaper. These
SEPA's Interoperability Profiles Task Force, led by NIST’s Cuong Nguyen, published its Interoperability Profile for Electric Vehicle Fleet Managed Charging
On May 31, 2022, NIST's Rick Candell gave the keynote address to IEEE's workshop on Performance Assessment of Industrial Wireless Systems. The workshop was

At the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) Public Safety Communications Research Division (PSCR), we are frequently asked about our
The structure — a square overhead loop connecting two square panels — increases the incoming radio signal, or electric field, applied to the gaseous atoms in
In May 2017, NIST formed a technical working group to develop best practices guidelines in selecting and deploying industrial wireless solutions within
After extensive study in the laboratory and two real-world environments, NIST results confirmed that the main signal path — over a clear “line of sight” between
NIST has released its public draft of NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-82r3, Guide to Operational Technology (OT) Security. This is the third revision of NIST
Manufacturing supply chains are increasingly susceptible to disruptions and are targets for bad actors seeking to steal proprietary information and/or sabotage
NIST researchers have published a technical paper in IEEE Wireless Communication: A Hybrid Wired/Wireless Deterministic Network for Smart Grid, to examine
Have you ever wondered what it is about a smart city or community that makes it ‘smart?’ In an international collaboration with Dr. Martin Serrano of the
5G and 6G networks will differ greatly in composition and services, compared to one-size-fits-all 4G networks. 5G and 6G networks must provide varying services
Smart sensors play a critical role in smart grids, supporting bidirectional flows of energy. Such sensors are needed for real-time monitoring of energy flow
