Security for Internet Systems and IETF

The field of security metrology is early in its development. Organizations collect many individual measures, but often do not understand how to analyze those

SED Consulting Program

The Statistical Engineering Division seeks opportunities to collaborate with NIST staff on research projects where optimal experiment design, statistical

Seismic Assessment and Retrofit of Pre-Northridge Earthquake Panel Zones in Steel Moment Frames

Steel moment frame design prior to the 1994 Northridge Earthquake (1985-1994 era) favored 1) panel zones that would yield before the adjacent beams and 2)

Seismic Performance of Steel Buildings in the Central and Eastern United States

In certain regions of moderate seismicity, particularly in the central and eastern United States (CEUS), member sizes of the seismic force-resisting systems

Seismic Response of Reinforced Concrete Walls

This project includes two critical problem-focused tasks in Performance Based Seismic Engineering (PBSE): (1) the evaluation of reinforced concrete wall models

AI self-quality assurance using learning curves in feedback loops

Semi-Automatic Curation

Single Molecule Fluorescence Measurements of Nanoscale Proton Distributions in Photoresist

The semiconductor industry's remarkable progress in making integrated circuits smaller, faster and cheaper relies on continual improvements in photolithography

Single photon measurements: Quantum Enhanced Measurements

Using a detector capable telling how many photons were received, we explored the potential for enhanced measurement resolution in two measurement applications.

Single photon measurements: Quantum State Discrimination

Using single-photon detection and an adaptive measurement strategy, we are able to determine the state of an optical pulse with errors below what is possible

Single photon measurements: Single Photon Tunneling

We use light created two photons at a time to explore the time needed to cross a barrier. The extreme simultaneity of creation of the two photons allows for

Single Photonics and Quantum Information

The smallest unit of light is a "photon". Generation, manipulation and measurement of light at or near the fundamental limit of a photon can enhance the

In Situ Characterization of Nanoscale Gas-Solid Interactions by TEM

Observing and measuring the dynamic changes that take place at the nanometer scale during the synthesis and operation of active nanostructures is vital for
