Truncated spherical harmonic expansions are used to approximate the shape of 3D star-shaped particles including a wide range of axially symmetric ellipsoids, cuboids, and over 40 000 real particles drawn from seven di erent material sources. This

Two NIST Programmable Josephson Voltage Standard (PJVS) systems have been directly compared at 10V using different nanovoltmeters at the temperature of the laboratory. These PJVS systems use arrays double-stacked superconducting-niobium Josephson junctions

As part of NISTs investigative efforts to support development of the FBI Next Generation Identification (NGI) systems, this investigation evaluates effects on image fidelity of wavelet transform decomposition and quality layer options for JPEG 2000

We report improvements to our previous [Zhang et al., Intl. J. Thermophysics, 32, 1297 (2011)] determination of the Boltzmann constant kB using a single 80 mm-long cylindrical cavity. In this work, the shape of the gas-filled resonant cavity is closer to

Ultracold gases of interacting spin-orbit coupled fermions are predicted to display exotic phenom- ena such as topological superfluidity and its associated Majorana fermions. Here, we experimentally demonstrate a route to strongly-interacting single

A key aspect of the next generation Smart Networked System (SNS) is the bridge between the physical and virtual world. These systems that tightly interlink the cyber and physical worlds are often referred to as Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). A CPS is the

As a part of NISTs program to standardize measurements of greenhouse gas emissions, we are developing long-wavelength acoustic flowmeter (LWAF) for accurate, economical measurement of flue gas flows, for example, from coal-burning power plants. A LWAF is
Smokeview is a software tool designed to visualize numerical calculations generated by fire models such as the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS), a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of fire-driven fluid flow or the Consolidated Fire and Smokeview
The SI unit of mass, the kilogram, is the only remaining artifact definition in the seven fundamental quantities of the SI system. It will be redefined in terms of the Planck constant as soon as certain experimental conditions recommended by the

As demand for lower power and higher performance nano-electronic products increases, the semiconductor industry must adopt insulating materials with progressively lower dielectric constants (i.e. low-k) in order to minimize capacitive related power losses
We discuss a high-speed quantum key distribution (QKD) system with the protocol infrastructure implemented on a single printed circuited board that can operate with various photonic subsystems. We achieve sub-nanosecond resolution with serial data
The NIST Open Keyword Search 2013 (OpenKWS13) Evaluation Workshop was the culmination of the first in a series of community-wide evaluations to test research systems that search for keywords in audio of a "surprise" language. OpenKWS13 made use of the
In order to revise the AGA-8 documentation for publication in 2014, better knowledge of the 0.1% uncertainty level in the equation of state is needed. A 0.1% uncertainty level has been identified by an AGA-8 task group as the acceptable limit of error for
There are now a series of published works related to Differential Fault Attack (DFA) on the Grain family, but most of them require quite a large number (hundreds) of faults (around $n \ln n$, where $n = 80$ for Grain v1 and $n = 128$ for Grain-128, Grain
This ITL Bulletin summarizes a new ITL publication, NIST Special Publication 800- 83 Revision 1,Guide to Malware Incident Prevention and Handling for Desktops and Laptops,which gives receommendations for organizations to improve their malware incident

This paper details the use of scanning photocurrent microscopy to examine localized current collection efficiency of thin film photovoltaic devices with in-plane patterning at a submicrometer length scale. The devices are based upon two interdigitated comb

Bottlebrush polymers are highly branched polymer macromolecules with potential applications for anti-fouling coatings, rheological modifiers, and drug delivery systems. However, the solution conformation of bottlebrush polymers has been studied in only a
The objective of this work was to identify compositional changes that could improve the thermal stability of the kerosene rocket propellant known as RP-2. For this study, we tested the effect of different types of alkanes on the thermal stability of RP-2
The objective of this work is to identify compositional changes that could improve the thermal stability of RP-2. For this study, we tested the effect of alkane concentration on the thermal stability of the RP-2 sample known as 08POSF5433. The proportion

In this work we investigated the effects of an internal O2 impurity on the conductance of elongated gold and silver nanowires (NWs) using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. We found that the O2 interacts with these metallic NWs very differently

We observe interfacial ferromagnetism in superlattices of the paramagnetic metal LaNiO 3 and the antiferromagnetic insulator CaMnO 3. The magnetic behavior can be explained in terms of an interfacial double exchange mechanism in which itinerant electrons
As sustainability becomes an important issue nowadays, disassembly becomes one of the key processes to turn out-of-service products into new or rebuilt products to save energy and materials. A disassembly process includes many subprocesses, such as
Here we report on the testing and measurements of an intra-volume ad hoc array concept suitable for public-safety communications in buildings. The term ad hoc array refers to the use of several small communication devices that are randomly placed in an
