Primary acoustic thermometers determine the thermodynamic temperature of a monatomic gas from measurements of the speed of sound in the gas. Here, we describe
The unit of mass, the kilogram, is the last remaining basic unit defined by an artifact. Worldwide efforts are underway to replace the artifact-based definition
Only a handful of shape parameters, such as aspect ratio and circularity, are in common use for characterizing individual microscopic particles. The fractal
4-D/RCS is the reference model architecture currently being developed for the Demo III Experimental Unmanned Vehicle program. 4-D/RCS integrates the NIST

We report new values for the difference (T T 90) between Kelvin thermodynamic temperatures T and ITS-90, the International Temperature Scale of 1990. The new
We report accurate demultiplexing of fiber Bragg grating sensors with reflection wavelengths separated by less than 2 nm using a method based on Hilbert
The calculable capacitor at National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) links the U.S. capacitance unit to the SI unit and has a relative standard
