The increasing CO$_2$ level is a critical concern and suitable materials are needed to directly capture such gases from the environment. While experimental and conventional computational methods are useful in finding such materials, they are usually slow
NIST DTSA-II is an open-source, comprehensive software platform for the analysis and simulation of electron-excited energy dispersive X-ray spectra (EDS). EDS spectrum simulation uses an embedded Monte Carlo electron trajectory calculation with generation

A globular α phase recrystallization has been discovered at the surface of net shape electron beam powder-bed fusion (PBF-EB) Ti-6Al-4V alloy parts. This globular surface is the result of typical powder recovery blasting followed by a hot isostatic
A new Helmholtz energy equation of state is presented for trans-1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoroprop-1-ene [R1233zd(E)], which is expressed with temperature and density as the independent variables. Experimental data in the range of temperatures from 215 K to 444

Changes in the chemo-electrical intrinsic properties of metal-oxide materials (MO) are commonly used as the basis of gas sensors. The most common gas sensors are based on chemically induced changes in electrical resistivity which necessarily involve making
This table gives physical properties, safe exposure limits, GWP and ODP for compounds that have been used as working fluids in traditional refrigeration systems or are under consideration as replacements in newer systems. Some are also used as solvents
NIST DTSA-II is a free, open access, and fully-documented comprehensive software platform for electron-excited X-ray microanalysis with energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS), including tools for quantification, measurement optimization, and spectrum

Controlling the pressure at which liquids intrude (wet) and extrude (dry) into/from nanopore is of paramount importance for a broad range of applications, such as energy conversion, catalysis, chromatography, separation, ionic channels, and many more. To
NIST has developed a user-friendly spreadsheet-based software package for the Master Curve analysis of fracture toughness tests performed in the ductile-to-brittle transition region and the determination of the reference temperature To, in accordance with
A new fundamental equation of state is presented for 2,3,3,3-tetra uoroprop-1-ene (R1234yf). The equation is valid from the triple point temperature (121.6 K) to 410 K at pressures up to 100 MPa, where typical expanded uncertainties (k = 2) in calculated

Motivated by the fascination of gecko adhesion based on the fibrous setae at the tips of their toe pads and their potential for biomimetic applications, the adhesion mechanism has been studied in detail. While the mechanism has been shown to be based on
NIST provides certified reference Charpy specimens to companies and laboratories around the world for the indirect verification of impact machines in accordance with ASTM E23. Specimens are available at three energy levels, low (15 J at 40 C), high (100
