Surveying Through Solid Walls

June 8, 1997
Author(s)
William C. Stone
A good metrology system in the automated environment must (1) measure the three dimensional position and attitude of any component to a reasonable degree of accuracy; (2) acquire these data fairly rapidly; and (3) be capable of making reliable measurements

NIST Neutron Source Pre-Conceptual Design

February 10, 2025
Author(s)
David Diamond, Abdullah Weiss, Osman Celikten, Jeremy Cook, Dagistan Sahin, Hubert King, Anil Gurgen, Joy Shen
A pre-conceptual design has been completed for a NIST Neutron Source (NNS). It would replace the existing facility at the NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR) to enable significantly more thermal and cold neutrons to be used in many more experiments

Report on High Energy Arc Fault Experiments: Experimental Results from Medium Voltage Electrical Enclosures

November 29, 2021
Author(s)
Gabriel Taylor, Anthony D. Putorti Jr., Scott Bareham, Edward Hnetkovsky, Kenneth Hamburger, Nicholas Melly, Mark Henry Salley, Christopher U. Brown, Wai Cheong Tam, Eric Link, Michael Selepak, Philip Deardorff, Kenneth Miller, Paul Clem, Byron Demosthenous, Austin Glover, Chris LaFleur, Raymond Martinez, Anthony Tanbakuchi
This report documents an experimental program designed to investigate High Energy Arcing Fault (HEAF) phenomena for medium voltage electrical switchgear containing aluminum conductors. This report covers full-scale laboratory experiments using

Setting Kinetics of Calcium Phosphate Cement by Dielectric Spectroscopy

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
H J. Mueller, R W. Hirthe
Calcium phosphate cements (CPC) are useful because of their excellent biocompatibility and self-hardening behavior. The setting reaction involving equimolar quantities of tetracalcium phosphate (TTCP, Ca4(PO4)2O) and dicaalcium phosphate anhydrous (DCPA

Workshop on Reliability Issues in Nanomaterials

August 1, 2005
Author(s)
Robert Keller, David T. Read, Roop L. Mahajan
The Workshop on Reliability Issues in Nanomaterials was held at the Boulder Laboratories of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) on August 17-19, 2004. It was designed to promote a particular subset of NIST?s responsibilities under the

Two-dimensional imaging of electromagnetic fields via light sheet fluorescence imaging with Rydberg atoms

November 24, 2025
Author(s)
Noah Schlossberger, Tate McDonald, Kevin Su, Rajavardhan Talashila, Robert Behary, Charles L. Patrick, Eugeniy E. Mikhailov, Seth Aubin, Irena Nokivoka, Christopher Holloway, Nikunjkumar Prajapati
Imaging of electric and magnetic fields is limited by the fact that conventional field probes rely on conductive elements that perturb the fields they are meant to measure and require either spatial scanning or arrays to produce field maps. Atomic sensors

Material Needs and Measurement Challenges for Advanced Semiconductor Packaging: Understanding the Soft Side of Science

August 27, 2025
Author(s)
Ran Tao, Polette Centellas, Stian Romberg, Anthony Kotula, Gale Holmes, Amanda Forster, Christopher Soles, Bob Allen, Edvin Cetegen, William Chen, Jeff Gotro, Mark Poliks
This perspective builds upon insights from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)-organized workshop, "Materials and Metrology Needs for Advanced Semiconductor Packaging Strategies," held at the 35th annual Electronics Packaging

Neutron Vibrational Spectroscopic Study of the Acetonitrile:Acetylene (1:2) Cocrystal Relevant to Titan, Saturn's Moon

November 13, 2024
Author(s)
Morgan Kramer, Luke Daemen, Yongqiang Cheng, Rafael Balderas-Xicohtencatl, Anibal Ramirez-Cuesta, Craig Brown, Tomce Runcevski
Saturn's moon Titan features a surface composed of various organic solids with pronounced compositional and structural diversity. On top of the icy core, the surface experiences a temperature of ≈93 K and pressure of ≈1.45 atm. Under these conditions, most

On Comparing Interference Impacts

October 9, 2024
Author(s)
Aric Sanders, Michelle Pirrone, Keith Forsyth, Adam Wunderlich
Interference between communication systems is a critical issue that can impact performance and operability of devices. A wide range of methods and testbeds have been developed to study susceptibility to interference, and each of these testbeds and their

Cryogenic Sapphire Optical Reference Cavity with 1 x 10^-16 fractional instability

October 2, 2024
Author(s)
Jose Valencia, George Iskandr, Nicholas Nardelli, David Leibrandt, David Hume
The frequency stability of a laser locked to an optical reference cavity is fundamentally limited by thermal noise in the cavity length, caused by local thermal fluctuations of the strain and index of refraction of the cavity components. These fluctuations

Quality Control in the Mass Spectrometry Proteomics Core: a Practical Primer

September 11, 2024
Author(s)
Ben Neely, Yasset Perez-Riverol, Magnus Palmblad
The past decade has seen widespread advances in quality control (QC) materials and software tools focused specifically on mass spectrometry–based proteomics, yet the rate of adoption is inconsistent. Despite the fundamental importance of QC, it typically

Reproducible graphene synthesis by oxygen-free chemical vapour deposition

May 29, 2024
Author(s)
Jacob Amontree, Xingzhou Yan, Christopher DiMarco, Pierre Levesque, Tehseen Adel, Jordan Pack, Madisen Holbrook, Christian Cupo, Zhiying Wang, Dihao Sun, Adam Biacchi, Charlezetta Stokes, Kenji Watanabe, Takashi Taniguchi, Cory Dean, Angela R. Hight Walker, Katayun Barmak, Richard Martel, James Hone
The demonstration of large-scale graphene synthesis on Cu by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) has led to enormous interest worldwide over the past 14 years. The graphene CVD process involves flow of a carbon feedstock (typically methane) over a Cu surface

Solidification modes during additive manufacturing of steel revealed by high-speed X-ray diffraction

March 1, 2023
Author(s)
Hans-Henrik Konig, Niklas Hollander Pettersson, A Durga, Steven Van Petegem, Daniel Grolimund, Qilin Guo, Chihpin Chuang, lianyi Chen, Christos Oikonomou, Fan Zhang, Greta Lindwall
Solidification during fusion-based additive manufacturing (AM) is characterized by high solidification velocities and high thermal gradients, two factors that control the solidification mode of AM metals and alloys. Using two synchrotron-based, in situ
