NIST physicist John Kitching displays the heart of the world's smallest atomic clock. This "physics package" is about the size of a grain of rice.simulated house fire in lab test Physicist Joshua Bienfang sets up the NIST quantum key distribution system to receive a string of photons from colleagues stationed on the top floor of the NIST Administration Building (shown in the background.) NIST physicist Scott Diddams adjusts a femtosecond laser system that is an important component of next-generation atomic clocks based on optical rather than microwave frequencies. Electrical engineer Richard Mirin aligns a laser used in an apparatus for producing a stream of single photons. Deborah Jin, Markus Greiner and Cindy Regal in their laboratory. NIST staff members John Butler and Susan Ballou discuss the World Trade Center DNA project at a robotic sample preparation station. Mechanical engineer Jon Pratt makes an adjustment to the prototype NIST Electrostatic Force Balance designed to measure nanoscale forces. Deborah Jin in her laboratory at JILA. Metal Stamping Carlos Gonzalez uses a 3-D immersive environment to study shake gels.
