Practical Attack on All Parameters of the HPPC Signature Scheme

January 2, 2026
Author(s)
Pierre Briaud, Maxime Bros, Ray Perlner, Daniel Smith-Tone
HPPC is a multivariate signature scheme submitted to the NIST PQC standardization process in response to the recent call for additional signature schemes. We show that, despite some non-standard notational choices in the submission document, HPPC can be

Survey of agricultural plastic waste in the American Midwest: usage and disposal

January 1, 2026
Author(s)
Julie Rieland, Christina Gore, Kalman Migler, Kathryn Beers
An estimated 4 % of global plastics are used for agricultural applications in forms such as films, jugs, fence posts, and hoses. However, there is limited data on actual use, and more importantly on its fate at end of life. We first present a comprehensive

Chemical Kinetics and Fire

December 31, 2025
Author(s)
Gregory Linteris, John Griffiths
The purpose of this chapter is to set out the principles of chemical kinetics as they apply to combustion in flames and fires. Chemical equilibrium, which was discussed in a previous chapter, deals with the final preferred state of a given set of reactants

Sarala Padi, Kinjal Mondal, David Hoogerheide, Frank N. Heinrich, Ella Mihailescu, Antonio Cardone, Jeffery Klauda
Antibiotics have been effectively developed to target and kill bacteria; however, the growing challenge of antimicrobial resistance (AR) has complicated the treatment of certain infections. To address this pressing issue, researchers are investigating

NIST Handbook 133: Checking the Net Contents of Packaged Goods (2026 Ed.)

December 29, 2025
Author(s)
John McGuire, David Sefcik, Loren Minnich, Elizabeth Benham, Isabel Baucom, Katrice Lippa
This handbook has been prepared as a procedural guide for the compliance testing of net content statements on packaged goods. Compliance testing of packaged goods is the determination of the conformance results of packaging, distribution, and sale of

Photonic integrated circuit optical parametric oscillators

December 22, 2025
Author(s)
Xiyuan Lu, Robert Gray, Jordan Stone, Selina Zhou, Nicolas Englebert, Alireza Marandi, Kartik Srinivasan
Optical parametric oscillators (OPOs) are versatile nonlinear optical devices for wavelength generation from the visible to the mid-infrared. Recently, OPO research has merged with photonic integrated circuits (PICs) in the advancement of miniaturized, on

Considerations for Achieving Crypto Agility: Strategies and Practices

December 19, 2025
Author(s)
Elaine Barker, Lidong Chen, David Cooper, Dustin Moody, Andrew Regenscheid, Murugiah Souppaya, William Newhouse, Russell Housley, Sean Turner, William Barker, Karen Kent
Cryptographic (crypto) agility refers to the capabilities needed to replace and adapt cryptographic algorithms in protocols, applications, software, hardware, firmware, and infrastructures while preserving security and ongoing operations. This white paper

An Improved Robotic Workcell for Operational Technology (OT) Research

December 18, 2025
Author(s)
Timothy Zimmerman, Michael Pease, Michael Dawson
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has constructed a discrete manufacturing workcell to support its operational technology (OT) and critical infrastructure research. This work is an improvement on the "Collaborative Robotics Testbed"

Integrating Cybersecurity and Enterprise Risk Management (ERM)

December 18, 2025
Author(s)
Stephen Quinn, Julie Anne Chua, Nahla Ivy, Robert Gardner, Karen Scarfone, Matthew Smith, Greg Witte
The increasing frequency, creativity, and severity of cybersecurity attacks means that all enterprises should ensure that cybersecurity risk is receiving appropriate attention within their enterprise risk management (ERM) programs. This document is

Staging Cybersecurity Risks for Enterprise Risk Management and Governance Oversight

December 18, 2025
Author(s)
Stephen Quinn, Nahla Ivy, Matthew Barrett, Robert Gardner, Matthew Smith, Greg Witte
This document is the third in a series that supplements NIST Interagency Report (IR) 8286, Integrating Cybersecurity and Enterprise Risk Management (ERM). This series provides additional details regarding enterprise application of cybersecurity risk

Insitu Mass Burning Rates of Individual Firebrands

December 17, 2025
Author(s)
Savannah Wessies, Jiann Yang
Firebrands are a leading cause of structure ignitions in wildland-urban interface fires. Understanding the burning rates of firebrands can provide insight on the ability of firebrands to ignite the substrates they land on. Experiments were designed to

Mitigating Cybersecurity and Privacy Risks in Telehealth Smart Home Integration

December 17, 2025
Author(s)
Ronald Pulivarti, Kevin Littlefield, Sue Wang, Bronwyn Patrick, Ryan Williams
In-patient service demands have increased during a time when patients have experienced reduced access to hospital care. Hospital-at-Home (HaH) solutions provide an in-patient care experience for patients, which may result in reduced costs and improved

An In-depth Study Evaluating the Determination of CBD, D9-THC, D8-THC, and 25 Additional Cannabinoids in Cannabis Concentrates by Liquid Chromatography with Absorbance Detection

December 15, 2025
Author(s)
Walter Wilson, Arianna Romares, STEPHEN GOLDMAN
Cannabis revenue has risen in the United States (US) from $16.5B in 2018 to $45.4B in 2025 [1], which can be attributed to the legalization of hemp in 2018 with the passage of the Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018 (2018 Farm Bill) and the surge of

Chirped magneto-optical trap of molybdenum

December 12, 2025
Author(s)
Sai Naga Manoj Paladugu, Nickolas Pilgram, Stephen Eckel, Eric Norrgard
We have directly loaded a cryogenic beam of molybdenum atoms into a magneto-optical trap. By chirping the detuning of the trapping lasers, we were able to enhance the number of atoms loaded into the trap by more than a factor of 2. We optimize the trapped

Detection of molecular hydrogen in a neutron beam lifetime experiment

December 12, 2025
