Security - Health Information Technology

Ongoing
Specifically in the area of health IT, NIST researchers are: Leveraging security automation principles and specifications to develop baseline security configuration checklists and toolkits to aid organizations in implementing the HIPAA Security Rule standards and implementation specifications

Security for Internet Systems and IETF

Ongoing
Our work will significantly improve the state of security metrology, improving the quantification of operational and technical security and increasing the ability to perform science for information security based on sound, consistent measures. This will initially impact all Federal agencies, and

Security: Nuclear Forensics Reference Material (RM) Program

Ongoing
NIST coordinates the production and characterization of nuclear forensics reference materials (NFRMs), which are vital for making precise and accurate measurements of nuclear materials. These materials will help ensure that measurements of nuclear material evidence are highly reliable, are traceable

SED Consulting Program

Ongoing
Description: Specific SED contributions include: Leadership in the establishment of a high standard of statistical practice within NIST via interactions with technical staff, publications, workshops, and seminars. Design and analysis of experiments, and evaluation of measurement uncertainties for

Seismic Response of Reinforced Concrete Walls

Ongoing
Objective: The project includes two critical tasks identified in Performance Based Seismic Engineering (PBSE): (1) use of simplified reinforced concrete wall models in high-fidelity nonlinear dynamic analysis that have no robust experimental data validation - to be solved by thorough experimental

AI self-quality assurance using learning curves in feedback loops

Ongoing
One application of artificial intelligence (AI) in materials is the acceleration of materials innovation, which is the mission of the Materials Genome Initiative. However, to decrease the cost and time-to-market, we must continuously assess the quality of models with new facts. AI quality assurance

Semantic Interoperability for Building Data

Ongoing
Objective To pursue an effort that results in national and international standards that define concepts and a methodology to create interoperable, machine-readable semantic models for representing building system information for analytics, automation, and control. Technical Idea The new technical

Semi-Automatic Curation

Ongoing
Scientific literature is undeniably an important source of scientific data for research but the review and curation of data from literature is both tedious and time consuming. Investigators must sort through many articles to review and extract relevant information. For many areas of research

Semiconductor Integration of Electronics and Photonics

Ongoing
Using integrated photonics, we generate spectrally flat, dark soliton microresonator frequency combs with accurate alignment to the ITU-T grid. These laser sources support innovation in advanced communication and computation applications. Moreover, technical development in these application areas

Semiconductor Nanowire Metrology: Electronics, Photonics, and Sensors

Completed
One of the key issues hampering progress in semiconductor nanotechnology is the absence of standardized nanostructures. We address this need through the controlled fabrication and assembly of semiconductor nanowire test structures with well-defined properties. To achieve this, we have manufactured

Sensing and Imaging of concealed objects

Ongoing
Threats to personal and collective safety abound in our society. The Security Technologies Group (STG) performs research to advance the technology and measurement science of security imaging and sensing. This work includes the establishment of test and evaluation tools, reference test beds, test

Sensing, Transport, and Simulation

Ongoing
We have recently developed a finite-size scaling approach and special simulation cell aspect ratio—the golden aspect ratio—to enable accurate incorporation of access resistant and bulk diffusion in ionic transport, see the figure. This enables quantitative, and efficient, prediction of ion transport

Sequential Bayesian Experiment Design

Completed
We develop and publish the optbayesexpt python package. The package implements sequential Bayesian experiment design to control laboratory experiments for efficient measurements. The package is designed for measurements with: an experiment (possibly computational) that yields measurements and

Serology and Neutralization Assays for COVID-19

Ongoing
Multiplexed bead-based SARS-CoV-2 serological assay We have developed a validated multiplexed bead-based SARS-CoV-2 serological assay that measures different antibodies produced by a patient (IgG, IgM, IgA). In collaboration with the NIST Applied and Computational Mathematics Division, we have

Service Life Prediction of Filled Polymers Project

Ongoing
Objective: By FY2014, to develop and implement measurement science that will provide the technical foundation for service life prediction of filled polymeric materials exposed to compound environmental stressors, through quantitative tests and models applied to polymeric pipes, sealants, and

Service-Oriented Architectures for Smart Manufacturing Project

Ongoing
Objective: Improve the performance of smart manufacturing systems by developing standards, reference models, and software tools that enable the application of service-based integration technologies to smart manufacturing systems. Technical Idea: Manufacturers are increasingly using the inherent

Short Courses

Ongoing
Topics, along with a description, for previously-taught classes are below. New topics are being considered. If you have a suggestion for a course, or would like to request that a course be taught, please contact Julia Sharp (julia.sharp [at] nist.gov (julia[dot]sharp[at]nist[dot]gov)).

Si-Based Single Spin/Single Photon Measurement, Coherence and Manipulation

Ongoing
Devices based on moving and controlling single electrons offer the tantalizing possibility of achieving quantum information processing by virtue of their spin or charge coherent properties. We are pursuing CMOS-compatible Si-based quantum dots for a variety of goals, including:” Narrowband high-MHz

Silicon-based single electron current standards

Ongoing
Our devices can manipulate and trap a single electron in a quantum dot through the application of voltages to electrostatically controlled tunnel barriers. By cycling these voltages appropriately, we are able to sequentially pump one electron at a time through the device. To produce a current
