Abstract
The US National Institute of Standards and Technology's ‘NIST-on-a-CHIP' programme heralds a paradigm shift in scientific instrumentation. The vision of the programme is that instruments will be their own primary standard, and the concept of an unbroken chain of calibrations back to a national or international standard would be superseded. The new instruments will be rugged, cheap, and more accurate, thanks to developments in manufacturing techniques for integrated circuits.Citation
