NIST has released its latest software version of SimPROCESD v0.3.0, or Simulated-Production Resource for Operations and Conditions Evaluation to Support
Planning for the 2025 MBE & QIF Summit at MxD in Chicago on April 15-17, 2025, is underway. NIST and the Digital Metrology Standards Consortium will organize
New technologies increasingly harness materials phenomena that operate across many length-scales: e.g., in selective gas adsorption, additive manufacturing, new alloy designs, or advanced concretes. To overcome technology barriers, it is no longer sufficient just to characterize the materials
Objective To develop and disseminate metrology methods, tools, data, and standards applied to in-situ monitoring of AM processes, such that manufacturers and their customers can accurately and precisely determine the quality of the fabrication process and resulting parts. What is the Technical Idea
According to the NOAA Fisheries of the U.S. report, in 2020 U.S. seafood consumption was estimated at ~6B pounds (~2.7 x 109 kg). Of that, 85% is imported and U.S. exports have seen a significant decline. Globally, the U.S. ranked only 18th in aquaculture production (2020). NIST aims to enhance the
With this effort, NIST is responding to industry needs for traceable, measurement solutions that can resolve spatial variations of absorbed dose at the level of individual components on a silicon wafer or bacteria on surgical instruments. Presently, there is only limited traceability to national
