Isotopic Reference Materials (RMs) are a critical component in the assurance of laboratory analytical quality, and have been applied to growing needs in
Abstract: Technological trends are increasingly requiring dimensional metrology at size scales below a micrometer. Scanning probe microscopy has unique
This paper provides a review of experience in the development of standards for optical communications and sensing, considering lessons that may be useful in the

This chapter presents a knowledge intensive support paradigm for platform-based product family design and development. The background and current research
Mass customization has been identified as a competitive strategy by an increasing number of companies. Family-based product design has been recognized as an
We review the evolution of the global standards system and its relationship to industry. We then discuss some of the approaches that governments have taken in
NIST Standard Reference Materials (SRM) are certified reference materials that are developed at NIST and provided to laboratories (industry, government and
For cuprate superconductors and related oxides, we review some aspects of their elastic constants. We consider the systematics of the bulk-modulus/atomic-volume
This chapter describes the efficiency of studying temperature-dependent materials processing/property/performance relationships with MEMS-based microarrays
This manuscript is a review of single crystal growth of high temperature superconducting materials. The introductory sections cover fundamentals of crystal
