5516: Mass Metrology Seminar

Mon, Apr 16 - Fri, Apr 27 2018
The Mass Metrology Seminar is a 2 week, "hands-on" seminar. It incorporates approximately 30 percent lectures and 70
Schematic of selective transport of water, ions, or molecules across a polymer membrane.

Polymer Membranes

Membranes and sorbents are key to the nation’s water and energy security. Polymer-based membranes already play a significant role in fields such as water
non-linear crystal

Driving the Universal Quantum Bus

NIST scientists have achieved a world record in detecting the intensity of an ultra-faint source of light, equaling the capabilities of the deep-space...

1997 APS Fellow - Albert Parr

For outstanding contributions to the development of innovative instruments and techniques for elucidating atomic and molecular photoionization processes and for defining national radiometric standards.

1998 APS Fellow - Gerald Fraser

For major contributions to the understanding of weak intermolecular forces, vibrational couplings, intramolecular vibrational energy redistribution, and the development of the technique of electric-resonance optothermal spectroscopy.

2001 APS Fellow - Carl Williams

For definitive calculations of atomic collision processes, which have improved our understanding of photoassociation spectroscopy, dynamics of Bose-Einstein condensates, and effects of radiation retardation on atomic collisions.

2004 APS Fellow - John Gillaspy

For providing fundamental insights into the radiation and collisional properties of very highly charged ions through pioneering research with an Electron Beam Ion Trap (EBIT).

2004 APS Fellow - Herbert Bennett

For insights into solid-state materials and the development of physical models that led to improved performance of electronic, magnetic, and optical materials.

2005 APS Fellow - Eric Shirley

For important contributions to the computation of the optical properties of solids from the infrared to the x-ray spectral regions.
