Multiscale Correlative Measurements of Nanoparticles in Cells

Author(s)
Aric W. Sanders, Kavita M. Jeerage, Cindi Schwartz, Alexandra E. Curtin, Ann C. Chiaramonti Debay
Nanoparticles are emerging as invaluable tools in disease diagnosis, disease treatment and imaging contrast enhancement agents. The interactions of...

Milligram Mass Metrology Using Electrostatics

Author(s)
Gordon A. Shaw, John A. Kramar
— Although mass has historically been defined using an artifact standard, other means of realization are possible. One alternative approach employs a precision...

A 100 Tohm Guarded Hamon Transfer Standard

Author(s)
Dean G. Jarrett, Edward O'Brien, Marlin E. Kraft
Guarded Hamon transfer standards are used at NIST for scaling to high resistance levels. An improved design for a guarded Hamon transfer standard in the range...

Systematic Error Resolved in NIST Johnson Noise Thermometer

Author(s)
Alessio Pollarolo, Weston L. Tew, Horst Rogalla, Samuel P. Benz
In the Johnson Noise Thermometry approach, Boltzmann’s constant k is obtained as the ratio of the noise power measured across a sense resistor at the triple...

Heterodyne interferometer with subnanometer accuracy

Author(s)
Darine El Haddad, Frank C. Seifert, Stephan Schlamminger, Leon S. Chao, David B. Newell, Jon R. Pratt
This paper gives a brief description of the laser interferometer system designed for the next generation watt balance experiment aimed to realize the unit of...
