The 2020 National Institute of Standards and Technology Environmental Scan provides an analysis of key external factors that could impact NIST and the fulfillment of its mission in coming years. The analyses were conducted through four separate lenses
The current race to develop and manufacture vaccines and therapeutics to prevent and treat Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has led to an increased recognition of, and investment in, various technology platforms, including manufacturing and measurement
Orthogonal superposition (OSP) rheology is an advanced rheological technique that involves superimposing a small-amplitude oscillatory shear deformation orthogonal to a primary shear flow. This technique allows the measurement of structural dynamics of
The FY 2018 summary, prepared by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), compiles the reports provided by 23 participating agencies listed in Appendix A. In these reports, agencies document any new use of GUS in lieu of VCS during FY

Most human genomes are characterized by aligning individual reads to the reference genome, but accurate long reads and linked reads now enable us to construct accurate, phased de novo assemblies. We focus on a medically important, highly variable, 5
A measurand is defined as the quantity that one intends to measure. As tissue engineering research translates into medical products, companies must prepare regulatory filings that contain many different types of measurement data that are collected about
NIST Handbook 150 contains the general procedures and requirements under which NVLAP operates as an unbiased third-party accreditation body. This handbook contains the general requirements that testing and calibration laboratories must meet to demonstrate
Thrombin, the proteolytic enzyme that catalyzes the transformation of soluble fibrinogen to the polymerized fibrin clot, participates in multiple reactions in blood coagulation in addition to the clotting reaction. Although reference materials have existed
This report describes how different smart manufacturing standards and technologies, such as MTConnect, were integrated in the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Smart Manufacturing Systems (SMS) Test Bed to support the collection
This report provides general recommendations for collecting, curating, and re-using manufacturing data from both additive and subtractive processes. The intended audience includes researchers, technical-assessment personnel, and end-users who would like to
