In response to worldwide initiatives to phase down working fluids that have a high global warming potential if accidentally released, the refrigeration and air

Fluid Phase Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy

NMR spectroscopy is routinely used to analyze chemical mixtures in the liquid phase. It is far less common for these techniques to be applied to vapor-phase

Fundamental Guided Wave Metrology

Radio-frequency (RF) waves and microwaves are involved with almost every facet of everyday life. Radio stations, television, wireless devices, satellite

HML Organic Chemical Metrology Program Areas

The Organic Chemical Metrology Program exists within the Chemical Sciences Division, MML, which is located at the Hollings Marine Laboratory in Charleston, SC.

Interlaboratory Comparison Exercises for Organic Contaminants and Trace Elements in Marine Sediments and Tissues

Three separate interlaboratory comparison exercises for environmental contaminants in marine specimens were administered in 2007/2008 by the Chemical Sciences

Lunar Spectral Irradiance (LUSI)

LUnar Spectral Irradiance (LUSI) is a program to radiometrically characterize the Moon for use as an on-orbit reference standard suitable for satellite

Marine Environmental Metabolomics

NIST is developing NMR-based metabolomics for use as a tool to expand research on the impacts of environmental stressors on marine organisms. The novel biology

S Mutans SEM image, in the process of forming complex networks.

Measurements for Microbial Ecology

Because of the complexity of microbial communities, we are working to develop measurements that will enable more reproducible design and control over of such

Measurements and Standards for Contaminants in Environmental Samples

For the past 40 years NIST has developed SRMs for the determination of inorganic and organic contaminants in environmental matrices such as sediments/soils

Methods and Measurements of Nanoparticle Distribution in the Natural Environment

Given the substantial differences between nanoparticles (NPs) and typical organic and inorganic environmental contaminants, new methods and analytical

Microcryocooler for Terahertz Detectors

NIST and the University of Colorado have been funded since April, 2006, by DARPA to develop a microcryocooler with a volume less than about 4 cm3 to cool a
