The NIST Wildland-Urban Interface Fire Case Study Approach and Outlook

July 19, 2024
Author(s)
Eric Link
Wildland-urban interface (WUI) fires are a threat to thousands of communities in the United States. Thousands of structures are destroyed, and thousands of lives are threatened or upended by fires every year. There are valuable lessons to be learned from

Effects of Dimensionality on the Electronic Structure of Ruddlesden-Popper Chromates Srn+1CrnO3n+1

Spencer Doyle, Lerato Takana, Margaret Anderson, Dan Segedin, Hesham El-Sherif, Charles Brooks, Xiaoping Wang, Padraic Shafer, Alpha N'Diaye, Ismail El Baggari, William Ratcliff, Andres Cano, Quintin Meier, Julia Mundy
Transition-metal oxides host a wide variety of electronic phenomena that can be significantly influenced by the effective dimensionality of the system under consideration. These include charge, spin, and orbital orderings, as well as unconventional

Assessing the Benefits and Risks of Quantum Computers

July 17, 2024
Author(s)
Travis Scholten, Carl Williams, Dustin Moody, Michele Mosca, William Hurley, William J. Zeng, Matthias Troyer, Jay Gambetta
Quantum computing is an emerging technology with potentially far-reaching implications for national prosperity and security. Understanding the timeframes over which economic benefits and national security risks may manifest themselves is vital for ensuring

Database-assisted-design facilitating performance-based tall building design

July 17, 2024
Author(s)
Daniel Rhee, Sophie Sisson, Brian Carman, Mehedy Mashnad, DongHun Yeo
In recent years, wind design, particularly for high-rise buildings, has seen a paradigm shift from a code-based descriptive method to a more specific performance-objective-based design. This new approach, known as the Performance-Based Wind Design (PBWD)

Spin Echo Small-Angle Neutron Scattering using Superconducting Magnetic Wollaston Prisms

July 17, 2024
Author(s)
Fumiaki Funama, Caitlyn Wolf, Kathleen Weigandt, Jiazhou Shen, Steven Parnell, Fankang Li
We show the implementation of superconducting magnetic Wollaston prisms for spin echo small-angle neutron scattering. Two calibration methods for the spin echo length are presented: one utilizing spin echo modulated small-angle neutron scattering and the

The Need for Reproducible Research in Soft Robotics

July 16, 2024
Author(s)
Andrew Spielberg, Jeremy Marvel, Dylan Shah, Jennifer Case, Robert Baines
To avoid facing a reproducibility crisis that will undermine the recent rapid pace of research and hamper widespread adoption, the field of soft robotics needs to establish best practices and uphold rigorous reporting.

Cryptographic Algorithms and Key Sizes for Personal Identity Verification

July 15, 2024
Author(s)
Hildegard Ferraiolo, Andrew Regenscheid
Federal Information Processing Standard 201-3 (FIPS 201-3) defines the requirements for Personal Identity Verification (PIV) life cycle activities, including identity proofing, registration, PIV Card issuance, and PIV Card usage. FIPS 201-3 also defines

Test Facility for Pressure Losses in Plumbing Pipes and Fittings

July 15, 2024
Author(s)
Lingnan Lin, Natascha S. Milesi-Ferretti, Glen A. Glaeser
This report describes a new test facility at NIST for the measurement of pressure losses in pipes and fittings used in plumbing systems. Pressure losses are fundamental inputs to the design of premise plumbing systems, yet the available technical data on

Energy Efficiency Scaling for 2 Decades (EES2) Roadmap for Computing

July 14, 2024
Author(s)
Jim Booth
Abstract—In response to the looming crisis in global energy consumption required for advanced computing applications, the United States Department of Energy (DOE) Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technology Office (AMMTO) is leading a national effort

On the Evaluation of Machine-Generated Reports

Author(s)
James Mayfield, Eugene Yang, Dawn Lawrie, Sean MacAvaney, Paul McNamee, Douglas Oard, Luca Soldaini, Ian Soboroff, Orion Weller, Efsun Kayi, Kate Sanders, Marc Mason, Noah Hibbler
Large Language Models (LLMs) have enabled new ways to satisfy information needs. Although great strides have been made in applying them to settings like document ranking and short-form text generation, they still struggle to compose complete, accurate, and

Effects of hydrogen on the evolution of 4130 steel microstructure as a result of tensile loading

July 12, 2024
Author(s)
Zack Buck, May Ling Martin, Damian Lauria, Jason Killgore, Peter Bradley, Yan Chen, Ke An, Matthew Connolly
Neutron diffraction and Scanning Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy (SKPFM) were used to study the evolution of lattice strain, dislocation density, and phase partitioning of a ferrite/martensite pressure vessel steel (AISI 4130) that resulted from tensile
