A research team has found that a method commonly used to skirt one of metal 3D printing’s biggest problems may be far from a silver bullet. For manufacturers...
We are developing new fixed points and new maintenance systems for use with Standard Platinum Resistance Thermometers (SPRTs) below the triple point of water
On January 29, 2021, the Center for Urban and Regional Studies (CURS) at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill announced a new report, Gearing Up: MEP...
Currently it is desirable to calibrate mass flow meters in water at room temperature and use the meters to measure cryogens such as liquified natural gas (LNG)
For advancing practical, low uncertainty flow measurements, and ensuring the reliability of the US and international flow measurement infrastructure, etc.
The U.S Commerce Department’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) has made one cooperative agreement...
We are involved in efforts to collate data on precision measurements and the theoretical description of these measurements with the aim to improve the values of
The detection of low energy charged particles is essential to high precision fundamental physics experiments, particularly with neutron beta decay. The majority
In October 2020 the Department of Energy (DOE) created a new laboratory consortium with a mission to “advance the efficiency and durability of proton exchange
Information security continuous monitoring (ISCM) programs provide an understanding of risk tolerance and help officials set priorities and consistently manage...
We investigate collisions of atoms in either micro-Kelvin gasses or in nano-colliders, where two small atomic clouds are made to collide with adjustable energy
NIST is building a cold-atom vacuum sensor (CAVS) that will be able to measure pressures in the ultra-high vacuum (UHV) regime corresponding to pressures less
