The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) operates the Community Resilience Program (CRP) to help communities and stakeholders develop resilience and recovery solutions by focusing on the nexus of buildings, built infrastructure systems

Single-photon Sources and Detectors Dictionary

August 4, 2025
Author(s)
Joshua Bienfang, Thomas Gerrits, Paulina Kuo, Alan Migdall, Sergey Polyakov, Oliver Slattery
The intention of this dictionary is to define relevant terms and metrics used in the characterization of single-photon detectors and sources with the goal to promote better understanding and communication of those metrics across the single-photon

NIST SP 800-63-4: Digital Identity Guidelines

August 1, 2025
Author(s)
David Temoshok, Yee-Yin Choong, Ryan Galluzzo, Marie LaSalle, Andrew Regenscheid, Diana Proud-Madruga, Sarbari Gupta, Naomi Lefkovitz
These guidelines cover identity proofing, authentication, and federation of users (such as employees, contractors, or private individuals) interacting with government information systems over networks. They define technical requirements in each of the

NIST SP 800-63A-4:Digital Identity Guidelines - Identity Proofing and Enrollment

August 1, 2025
Author(s)
David Temoshok, Yee-Yin Choong, Ryan Galluzzo, Marie LaSalle, Andrew Regenscheid, Christine Abruzzi, James L. Fenton, Naomi Lefkovitz
This guideline focuses on identity proofing and enrollment for use in digital authentication. During the process of identity proofing, an applicant provides evidence to a credential service provider (CSP) reliably identifying themselves, thereby allowing

NIST SP 800-63B-4:Digital Identity Guidelines - Authentication and Authenticator Management

August 1, 2025
Author(s)
David Temoshok, Yee-Yin Choong, Andrew Regenscheid, Ryan Galluzzo, James L. Fenton, Justin Richer, Naomi Lefkovitz
This guideline focuses on the authentication of subjects who interact with government information systems over networks to establish that a given claimant is a subscriber who has been previously authenticated. The result of the authentication process may

NIST SP 800-63C-4:Digital Identity Guidelines - Federation and Assertions

August 1, 2025
Author(s)
Justin Richer, James L. Fenton, Naomi Lefkovitz, David Temoshok, Ryan Galluzzo, Andrew Regenscheid, Yee-Yin Choong
This guideline focuses on the use of federated identity and the use of assertions to implement identity federations. Federation allows a given credential service provider to provide authentication attributes and (optionally) subscriber attributes to a

NIST Handbook HB-150-3 2025 Edition

July 31, 2025
Author(s)
Derek Ho, Shelby Williamson, Hazel Richmond
NIST Handbook 150-3 presents the technical requirements and guidance for the accreditation of laboratories under the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) Bulk Asbestos Fiber Analysis program. It is intended for information and use by

Estimating How Big: The Metric Estimation Game

July 30, 2025
Author(s)
Elizabeth Benham, Kristen Dill, Dinelka Jagoda, Maryanne Amanze, Yoon Thwel
The metric system (International System of Units, SI) is easy to use and learn. The Metric System Estimation Game is a fun, hands-on activity that helps participants become familiar with SI measurements by practicing estimation skills. During this activity

Effect of strain rate on tensile test results in hydrogen and other concerns

July 29, 2025
Author(s)
May Martin, Zachary Buck, Allen Eckhardt, Damian Lauria, Andrew Slifka, Matthew Connolly
Tensile tests of an X52 pipeline steel were conducted in air and in hydrogen gas over a range of five orders of magnitude of strain rate. Properties such as elastic modulus, yield strength and ultimate tensile strength were unaffected by hydrogen or by

Effect of Ionic Liquids on the Structure of Ionomer Inks

July 28, 2025
Author(s)
Tyler Martin, Kimber Stamm Masias
This study investigates the impact of ionic liquids (ILs) on the structure and performance of catalyst inks used in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). Using contrast variation small-angle neutron scattering (CV-SANS), we elucidate the structural

Error mitigation thresholds in noisy random quantum circuits

July 25, 2025
Author(s)
Pradeep Niroula, Sarang Gopalakrishnan, Michael Gullans
Extracting useful information from noisy near-term quantum simulations requires error mitigation strategies. A broad class of these strategies rely on precise characterization of the noise source. We study the performance of such strategies when the noise

Large Area Real-Space Crystallography and Thickness Determination of Mesoscopic Semiconductor Membranes Using Zone Axis Patterns, Cold Field-Emission SEM/STEM, and Analytical S/TEM

July 25, 2025
Author(s)
Vladimir Oleshko, Glenn Holland, Daron Westly, John Villarrubia
Structural and dimensional characterization of layered structures in semiconductors is increasingly important for microelectronics manufacturing because of the continuing downward scaling of devices. Manufacturers require high-precision non-destructive

Priming Additively Manufactured Cobalt-free Maraging Steels for Improved Properties via Changes to As-Built Microstructure

July 23, 2025
