Depiction of miniaturized atomic beam source. (a) Schematic of the Rb beam source. (b) Image of assembled device. (c) Rb fluorescence spectrum measuring the transverse velocity distribution of the atomic beam, and Rb absorption spectrum measuring the Rb vapor density feeding the channel array. A saturated absorption spectrum from a natural abundance Rb cell is included for reference.

Chip-Scale Atomic Beam System

NIST Inventors
Elizabeth Donley , John Kitching and William McGehee
The invention is a device for creating a collimated atomic beam in an evacuated vacuum package fabricated from lithographically defined or machined, planar structures and with components to source atomic vapor and passive pumps to maintain vacuum conditions. We have developed a chip-scale system for

Antibodies Targeting Marburgvirus Glycoproteins and Uses Thereof

NIST Inventors
Thomas Cleveland
Our study describes the discovery and characterization of a diverse panel of antibodies against marburgvirus GP (glycoprotein) induced by multivalent immunization and provides candidate immunotherapeutics for further study and development.
Depiction of packaging assembly with all modules

A Super Accurate Temperature Sensor That Works Without Electricity

NIST Inventors
Nikolai Klimov , Tobias Herman and Zeeshan Ahmed
This invention introduces a photonic thermometer that uses optical fibers to measure temperature. The thermometer is designed with a sheath and module assembly to enhance accuracy and durability. It leverages photonic technology to provide precise temperature readings without relying on traditional

Smart Temperature Sensor That Works Without Touch

NIST Inventors
Howard W. Yoon
This invention introduces a temperature detector that stabilizes radiation measurements using an isothermal reference. It ensures high accuracy by self-referencing ambient radiation, reducing errors caused by environmental fluctuations. The detector is designed to work without direct contact, making
