2024 NIST GenAI (Pilot Study): Text-to-Text Evaluation Overview and Results

June 25, 2025
Author(s)
Hariharan Iyer, Seungmin Seo, Lukas Diduch, Kay Peterson, George Awad, Yooyoung Lee
The 2024 NIST Generative AI (GenAI) Pilot Study focuses on evaluating text-to-text (T2T) generation and discrimination tasks to assess the capabilities and limitations of generative AI models and AI detectors. The study aims to measure the effectiveness of

Dynamical structure factor from weak measurements

June 25, 2025
Author(s)
Emine Altuntas, Rosaria Gabriella Lena, Stuart Flannigan, Ian Spielman, Andrew Daley
Much of our knowledge of quantum systems is encapsulated in the expectation value of Hermitian operators, experimentally obtained by averaging projective measurements. However, dynamical properties are often described by products of operators evaluated at

Hallucination Detection in Large Language Models Using Diversion Decoding

June 24, 2025
Author(s)
Basel Abdeen, S M Tahmid Siddiqui, Meah Tahmeed Ahmed, Anoop Singhal, Latifur Khan, Punya Modi, Ehab Al-Shaer
Large language models (LLMs) have emerged as a powerful tool for retrieving knowledge through seamless, human-like interactions. Despite their advanced text generation capabilities, LLMs exhibit hallucination tendencies, where they generate factually

Blackbody radiation Zeeman shift in Rydberg atoms

June 23, 2025
Author(s)
Kyle Beloy, Benjamin Hunt, Roger Brown, Tobias Bothwell, Youssef Hassan, Jacob Siegel, Tanner Grogan, Andrew Ludlow
We consider the Zeeman shift in Rydberg atoms induced by room-temperature blackbody radiation (BBR). BBR shifts to the Rydberg levels are dominated by the familiar BBR Stark shift. However, the BBR Stark shift and the BBR Zeeman shift exhibit different

First direct search for light dark matter interactions in a transition-edge sensor

June 23, 2025
Author(s)
Christina Schwemmbauer, Adriana Lita, Yonit Hochberg, Axel Lindner, Friederike Januschek, Manuel Meyer, Benjamin Lehmann
We propose the use of transition-edge sensor (TES) single-photon detectors as a simultaneous target and sensor for direct dark matter searches, and report results from the first search of this kind. We perform a 489 h science run with a TES device

X-ray scintillating lanthanide-based coordination polymers

June 23, 2025
Author(s)
Elizabeth Decoteau, Claire Belatti, Huong Giang Nguyen, Luiz Jacobsohn, Robert Surbella, III, Christopher Cahill
Reported are the syntheses and characterization of 25 lanthanide-containing coordination polymers exhibiting four structure types: type I': [Ln(TFTP)1.5(bpy)] (Ln = La3+-Nd3+), type I: [Ln(TFTP)1.5(bpy)(H2O)] (Ln = Sm3+-Lu3+), type II': [Pr(TFTP)1.5(phen)]

Analysis of Propagation of Regular, Extended, and Large BGP Communities

June 20, 2025
Author(s)
Lilia Hannachi, Kotikalapudi Sriram, Douglas Montgomery
This study focuses on the analysis of propagation of Regular, Extended, and Large Communities in the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). Once added, these communities are often intended to be transitive by default, meaning that they should be propagated from

Experimental Evaluation of AI-Driven Protein Design Risks Using Safe Biological Proxies

June 20, 2025
Author(s)
Svetlana Ikonomova, Bruce Wittmann, Fernanda Piorino Macruz de Oliveira, David Ross, Samuel Schaffter, Olga Vasilyeva, Elizabeth Strychalski, Eric Horvitz, James Diggans, Sheng Lin-Gibson, Geoffrey Taghon
Advances in machine learning are providing new abilities for engineering biology, promising leaps forward with beneficial applications. At the same time, these advances raise concerns about biosecurity. Recently, Wittmann et al. described an in silico

Eave and Vent Experiments (EaVE) Phase A

June 18, 2025
Author(s)
Christopher Brown, Alexander Maranghides, Giovanni Di Cristina Torres, Diana Bailey, Lucy Fox, Eric Link, Selvarajah Ramesh, Monica Flores, Shonali Nazare, J. Houston Miller, Erin McCaughey
This report documents a series of full-scale fire experiments conducted at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to characterize the performance of select wildland-urban interface (WUI) eave vents exposed to fire from noncombustible

Demonstration of dispersion gas barometry

June 17, 2025
Author(s)
Yuanchao Yang, Jack Stone, Patrick Egan
Realization of the optical pascal has been limited by systematic errors caused by distortion of the optic. In this work, distortion error is circumvented via synchronous measurement of helium refractivity at two optical frequencies. The resultant pressure

Microscopic-scale defect analysis on b-Ga2O3 through microscopy

June 12, 2025
Author(s)
Minyeong Kim, Andrew Winchester, Alline Myers, Edwin Heilweil, Ory Maimon, Wei-Chang Yang, Sang-Mo Koo, Qiliang Li, Sujitra Pookpanratana
β-Ga2O3 is a wide bandgap semiconductor with potential for surpassing current-generation high-power device performance and cost-effectiveness, due to its unique properties and availability of large high-quality substrates. However, β-Ga2O3 power

Solution Conformation Differences between Conventional and CENP-A Nucleosomes are Accentuated by Reversible Deformation under High Pressure

June 12, 2025
Author(s)
Kushol Gupta, Nikolina Sekulic, Praveen Allu, Nicholas Sapp, Qingqiu Huang, Kathryn Sarachan, Mikkel Christensen, Reidar Lund, Susan N. Krueger, Joseph E. Curtis, Richard Gillilan, Gregory Van Duyne, Ben Black
Solution-based interrogation of the physical nature of nucleosomes has its roots in X-ray and neutron scattering experiments, including those that provided the initial observation that DNA wraps around core histones. In this study, we performed a

Description of the electronic structure of oxyhemoglobin using Fe L-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy

June 11, 2025
Author(s)
Augustin Braun, Charles Titus, Michael Baker, Max Waters, James Yan, Sang-Jun Lee, Dennis Nordlund, William Doriese, Galen O'Neil, Daniel Schmidt, Daniel Swetz, Joel Ullom, Kent Irwin, Edward Solomon
The electronic structure of oxyhemoglobin (oxyHb), the O2-bound form of the oxygen carrier, has been controversial since the discovery of its diamagnetism in 1936. This study uses partial fluorescence yield Fe L-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) in
