Jason Kralj, Nancy Lin, Kirsten Parratt, Stephanie Servetas, Dawn Henke, Scott Jackson
The NIST-led Rapid Microbial Testing Methods (RMTM) Consortium launched in 2020 to develop standards and measurement-based solutions to advance the use of RMTMs in advanced therapy products. NIST hosted 4th annual workshop on RMTMs to update the community

Recommendation for Random Bit Generator (RBG) Constructions

September 25, 2025
Author(s)
Elaine Barker, John Kelsey, Kerry McKay, Allen Roginsky, Meltem Sonmez Turan
The NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-90 series of documents supports the generation of high-quality random bits for cryptographic and non-cryptographic use. SP 800-90A, Recommendation for Random Number Generation Using Deterministic Random Bit Generators

Supply Chain Disruption and Agent-Based Modeling : A Literature Review and Model

September 25, 2025
Author(s)
Douglas Thomas, Jennifer Helgeson, Ireland Crowther
This report provides a literature review of supply chain disruption and agent-based models. It also develops an agent-based model to examine emergent phenomena in supply chain disruption. This model will eventually be used to 1) examine how supply chain

87 Years of Mathematical Functions at NIST

September 23, 2025
Author(s)
Ronald Boisvert
We survey the role that the National Institute of Standards and Technology has played in the development and use of the special functions of applied mathematics from the construction of tables of function values in the 1930s to the provision of online

Entropic modulation of divalent cation transport

September 22, 2025
Author(s)
Yechan Noh, Demian Riccardi, Alexander Smolyanitsky
Aqueous cations permeate subnanoscale pores by crossing free energy barriers dominated by competing enthalpic contributions from transiently decreased ion-solvent and increased ion-pore electrostatic interactions. This commonly accepted view is rooted in

Evaluation of Variations in Solution Annealing, Intercritical Annealing, and Aging Treatments on Cobalt-free Maraging Steels

September 22, 2025
Author(s)
Nicholas Derimow, Jake Benzing, Alec Saville, Cassidy Allen, Jordan Weaver, Nikolas Hrabe, Timothy Quinn, Timothy Weeks, Newell Moser, Chad Beamer, Christin Aumayr, Tilman Seifert, Michael Hirtler
This work is a compilation and summary of the quasi-static mechanical properties of a novel cobalt-free maraging steel, M789, that underwent a series of various heat treatments which included solution annealing, intercritical annealing, and aging

New Precast Concrete Moment Connections under a Column Removal Scenario

September 22, 2025
Author(s)
Malcolm Ammons, Jonathan Weigand, Travis Thonstad
This technical note presents an experimental investigation of the performance of five novel precast concrete moment-resisting connections subjected to a simulated column removal scenario. The objectives of the investigation were 1) to characterize the

VOC Injection Reveals Large Surface Reservoir Sizes in an Indoor Environment

September 22, 2025
Author(s)
Jie Yu, Pascale Lakey, Jenna Ditto, Han Huynh, Michael Link, Dustin Poppendieck, Stephen Zimmerman, Xing Wang, Delphine Farmer, Marina Vance, Jonathan Abbatt, Manabu Shiraiwa
The total partitioning capacity of indoor surface reservoirs determines the mechanism by which humans receive nondietary exposure to organic contaminants, via inhalation, dermal uptake, and dust ingestion. And yet, this capacity is largely unknown. Surface

2025 NIST GenAI Text Challenge Evaluation Plan

September 18, 2025
Author(s)
Seungmin Seo, Hariharan Iyer, Yooyoung Lee
The NIST Generative AI (GenAI) Text Challenge is an evaluation program designed to probe the capabilities and limitations of generative AI models from three complementary perspectives: Generator, Prompter, and Discriminator. The challenge will focus on two

NIST Special Publication 800-227, Recommendations for Key-Encapsulation Mechanisms

September 18, 2025
Author(s)
Gorjan Alagic, Elaine Barker, Lidong Chen, Dustin Moody, Angela Robinson, Hamilton Silberg, Noah Waller
A key-encapsulation mechanism (KEM) is a set of algorithms that can be used by two parties under certain conditions to securely establish a shared secret key over a public channel. A shared secret key that is established using a KEM can then be used with

PMSE Centennial: Celebration of Success and New Frontiers in Polymer Materials Science and Engineering

September 18, 2025

Mellissa Grunlan, LaShanda Korely, Qinghuang Lin, Christopher Soles, Rigorberto Advincula, Arthi Jayaraman, Elizabeth Cosgriff-Hernandez, Elsa Reichmanis, Jodie Lutkenhaus, Rodney Priestly, Bridgitte Voit, Thomas Epps
In 2024, the American Chemical Society (ACS) Division of Polymeric Materials: Science and Engineering (PMSE) marked celebrated its centennial. This historic occasion was marked at the 2024 Spring ACS Meeting in New Orleans with a Centennial Symposium

Addressing Visibility Challenges with TLS 1.3 within the Enterprise

September 17, 2025
Author(s)
William Newhouse
The Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol is widely deployed to secure network traffic. TLS 1.3 has been strengthened so that even if a TLS-enabled server is compromised, the contents of its previous TLS communications are still protected—also known as

Estimating the Costs and Performance of Enhanced Building Design: A Case Study of Functional Recovery for New Buildings

September 17, 2025
Author(s)
Sherief Elsibaie, Yating Zhang, Juan Fung, Dustin Cook, Siamak Sattar, Peter Morris, Henry Burton, David Welch, Kamiar Anaraki
This report details the development of different structural design building archetypes and other seismic enhancements, the cost estimation process applied to those archetypes, and the economic implications and estimation of differing functional recovery
