Conventional mechanical test methods face limitations when specimens are smaller than a few millimeters in length, but information at this scale is needed for
Electricity meters today face unprecedented challenges, from distorted waveforms on the grid, bidirectional metering for renewables, and the use of meters as
This project develops STEM-in-SEM methods or low-energy transmission electron diffraction, imaging, and spectroscopy in the scanning electron microscope, to
New measurement science and industry standards are needed to enable building systems and consumers to interact with a future "smart grid," which supports the
Developing a next generation "smart grid" requires new measurement science and industry standards that enable homes and buildings to interact with the grid. In
The Building Joint Sealant Service Life Prediction Research project has been initiated by BFRL to deliver critical predictive models for service life to the
We have developed a method to assess the overall quality of a cell counting measurement. This method does not require a reference material or "ground truth"
The widespread use of cell lines in biomedical research is nearly universal, but a major issue has continued to plague the scientific community for over 50
Our goal is to provide industry with test structures and models of next-generation photovoltaics, with an initial focus on cadmium telluride (CdTe) and CuIn x
Building systems commissioning processes applied at the design phase and throughout the building life cycle have been shown to effectively improve performance
A Complex System is any structure, process, organization, or organism characterized by a large number of interconnected components whose micro-interactions lead
Our goal is to develop measurement methods with sufficiently high spatial resolution to uncover the materials limitations in the resolution of state-of-the-art
With the advent of automated data acquisition systems in conjunction with on-line imaging devices, the biological researcher is potentially confronted with
The definitions of cyber-physical systems (CPS) and the Internet of Things (IoT) are converging over time to include a common emphasis on hybrid systems of
A key challenge to progress in cyber-physical systems (CPS) and the Internet of Things (IoT) is the lack of robust platforms for experiment and testing, which
The definitions of cyber-physical systems (CPS) and the Internet of Things (IoT) are converging over time to include a common emphasis on hybrid systems of
Smart cities are enabled by cyber-physical systems (CPS), which involve connecting devices and systems – such as Internet of Things (IoT) technologies – in
Smart grid cybersecurity must address both inadvertent compromises of the electric infrastructure, due to user errors, equipment failures, and natural disasters
The development of a materials innovation infrastructure (MII) that will enable rapid and significant reductions in the development time for new materials with
In classical molecular simulations, electrostatic contributions to the potential energy are typically accounted for by assigning partial charges to some or all
Our country's way of life depends on the electric power distribution system. Keeping the national electric grid in good working order -- and ensuring power is
Organic photovoltaic cells rely upon molecular interfaces to separate charge. Efficient charge separation depends molecular structure and electronic band
