Fundamental understanding of electron-solid interactions is key to interpreting electron microscopy images for quantitative metrology. Scanning electron
The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 established a national goal of achieving net-zero energy buildings by 2030. Industry groups including the
The Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) is defined as the location where structures and communities meet or intermingle with undeveloped wildland. In the U.S., over
Artificial intelligence (AI) in the form of advanced machine learning models has been widely adopted in the technology world today. These machine learning
Designing artificial intelligence (AI) from the device up could unlock improvements in critical metrics such as energy delay product and enable unique networks
Traceability is becoming increasingly crucial in and across multiple sectors and is critical to identifying and connecting value chain data. For example
The management of radio and network infrastructure resources in a nationwide interoperable network is critical to maintaining effective operations during
According to the most recent national census data, the median year in which owner-occupied homes were built in the U.S. is 1976 1. Furthermore, housing starts
The goal of the project is to develop measurement methods to characterize the nanoscale structure and dynamics of polymer electrolyte membranes (PEMs) to enable
The onset of structural collapse is used as the acceptance criterion in performance-based seismic engineering, but there is no consensus on how to define
The Engineered Fire Safe Products (EFSP) Project is developing a database (the NIST Material Flammability Database) to maintain the tools (experimental and
Infrastructure is essential for commerce. Planners and stakeholders want to develop infrastructure that is resilient to both chronic (e.g., material degradation
The Cellular Engineering Group is working to engineer components of living cells to sense environmental fluctuations induced by contaminants within their
This project comprises of two complimentary components: 1.) the controlled synthesis of selectively engineered magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) in support of the
We work to engineer novel function in GPCRs using a microbial platform. This enables rapid, and multi-objective engineering, to precisely characterize and tune
Crystalline silicon is a desirable host material for solid state qubits due to potential for electrically controlled interactions between exquisitely isolated
Nanoparticle-based consumer products are becoming available in the market at an increasing rate, but the safety of nanoparticles and the environmental fate of
The metabolomics program at NIST is a collaboration between multiple institutions located at the Hollings Marine Laboratory (HML) in Charleston, SC. This
Rather than relying on templates, processing complex metrology data can be automated to reduce both the time required and the potential for transcription and
Reliable and accurate measurements of radioactivity in natural matrices are critical to key aspects of environmental research, including climate change, air
The performance of individual labs for specific measurements is determined by the use of a proficiency test. Results reported by labs are compared to a
In July 2014, ERCC members initiated the ERCC 2.0 effort to develop an updated suite of RNA controls that will keep pace with advances in RNA measurement
