Precision Spectroscopy and Quantum Control of Trapped Molecular Ions

Ongoing
Spectroscopy and Quantum Control of Molecular Ions Molecules exhibit vibration and rotation of their nuclei, degrees of freedom not present in atoms, and less stringent selection rules for transitions. This creates experimental challenges and great opportunities for exploring new physics. In this

Precision Timing for Smart Grid Systems

Completed
Objective: The key objective is to support the power sector industry through research and development in the metrology for online and predictive precision timing characterization necessary for grid monitoring and control applications. This project strives to support to the Smart Grid Testbed and the

Precision X-ray Emission Line Measurements

Ongoing
Precise knowledge of the shape and position of x-ray emission lines is the basis of connecting x-ray diffraction measurements to the Système Internationale d'Unités (SI), the official worldwide standard for making any measurement. Measurements of position of x-ray emission lines have been made been

Precursor Material Qualification

Completed
To develop, utilize, and analyze methods of characterizing the precursor materials in additive manufacturing in both virgin and recycled states with the goal of advancing measurement science to benefit the AM community. The components of principal interest will include the rheological, size

Ongoing
Goals Use ANN models to fit RF and .OH rate constant data k(.OH). Be able to predict RF, k(.OH), and GWP with reasonable accuracy using readily available information. Create a screening tool based on the ANNs.  Research Activities Improve the performance of rate constant prediction. Compare rate

Premise Plumbing Systems for High-Performance Buildings

Ongoing
Objective To develop new measurement methods, modeling approaches, and data to support improvements in building plumbing design, utility consumption, and water quality. The results of these efforts are intended to support standards development and industry programs to advance innovative technology

Pressure/Vacuum Calibrations

Ongoing
Piston Gauge (29010C - 29040S) This service provides calibrated secondary standard piston gauges, calibrated electronic pressure instruments, and special tests of customer supplied piston gauges. Measurements of pressure are available for submitted calibration items for the range from 10 kPa to 280

Primary optical watt radiometer (POWR)

Ongoing
The POWR, including the detector module, was completely designed by NIST to have the versatility to grow with NIST's needs and embrace new technologies. It provides optical power measurements with uncertainties of 0.01 % ( k=1), which have been verified by an intercomparison with two other cryogenic

Probing Graphene Electronic Devices with Atomic Scale Measurements

Ongoing
Two of the remarkable features of graphene that are opening avenues to multiple applications are its high transport carrier mobility and the broad tunability of its electronic properties. Graphene charge carriers can be tuned continuously from negative carriers (i.e., electrons), to positive (holes)

Product Definitions for Smart Manufacturing

Completed
The Product Definitions for Smart Manufacturing project will deliver methods, protocols, and tools for developing, conformance testing, increasing user-awareness, and industrial adoption of product definition standards necessary for the digital transformation of manufacturing enterprises. Smart

Product Digital Information Visualization and Exploration

Completed
Objective - To deliver standards, methods, and tools that improve the usability and maintainability of product lifecycle data for (i) engineering design-focused analytics and (ii) advanced visualization modalities that leverage spatial computing technologies. What is the new technical idea? The

Product Lifecycle Data Exploration and Visualization

Ongoing
With the continuing emergence of low-cost, lightweight, and powerful hardware at the edge, opportunities grow for advancing methods, standards, and software tools for data exploration and visualization in smart manufacturing systems. Small and medium-sized enterprises have limited resources to

Prognostics, Health Management, and Control (PHMC)

Ongoing
Objective: Deliver methods, protocols, and tools for robust sensing, diagnostics, prognostics, and control that enable manufacturers to respond to planned (e.g., scheduled change-overs, new productivity targets) and un-planned (e.g., faults, failures) performance changes thereby enhancing the

Project 25 Compliance Assessment Program

Ongoing
For several decades public safety agencies purchased and used equipment developed by disparate manufacturers and were operating on a different spectrum. As a result, this equipment often could not interoperate, preventing many public safety agencies from communicating when responding to critical

Properties of Sustainable Fresh Concrete Project

Completed
Objective - Provide the industry with measurement science tools to predict whether a concrete can be pumped, with SRMs (Standard Reference Materials) to calibrate concrete rheometers and with tools for quality control in the field. What is the new technical idea? Fresh concrete is intended a

Proprietary Fingerprint Template Evaluations (PFT) Overview

Ongoing
The National Institute of Standards and Technology's Proprietary Fingerprint Template (PFT) program is an ongoing biometric technology evaluation program measuring the performance of fingerprint template generation and one-to-one verification software using vendor proprietary fingerprint templates

Protein Preservation

Completed
This project is an integral part of a cooperative effort – led by NIST, and partially funded by NIH/ NIBIB – which includes the University of Wisconsin, the University of Colorado, and the University of Connecticut. We use the following approach to develop measurement solutions for biopharmaceutical

Protein rheology measurements

Ongoing
Intended Impact Why does the health-care industry care about rheology and scattering of protein solutions? Operations. Viscosity is a critical and fundamental constitutive input for drug delivery, device design and manufacturing. For example, high viscosity leads to poor syringeability due to high

Prototype Cell Assay Measurement Platform (P-CAMP)

Ongoing
A systematic approach to the development of robust biological assay includes identifying and ranking the sources of variability in an assay protocol. With a focus on mammalian cellular assays, the Prototype Cell Assay Measurement Platform ( P-CAMP) laboratory was designed and built to take advantage

Prototyping Platforms for Emerging Technologies

Ongoing
Emerging technologies aim to overcome traditional memory limitations with higher density, lower power consumption, faster read/write speeds, better endurance, and lower cost [2]. Many new candidate memory elements are analog or stochastic, requiring new testing infrastructure, and the context of
