Author(s)
Muhammad Zaheer, Naleli Matjelo, David Hume, Marianna Safronova, David Leibrandt
Quantum metrology involves improving the sensitivity of a quantum sensor to a signal while circumventing sensitivity to noise using algorithms from quantum information science. Atomic clocks are among the most sensitive quantum sensors, with recent

Measuring the Influence of CO2 and Water Vapor on the Dynamics in Polyethylenimine To Understand the Direct Air Capture of CO2 from the Environment

June 5, 2024
Author(s)
Avery Baumann, Takeshi Yamada, Kanae Ito, Chad R. Snyder, John Hoffman, Craig Brown, Christopher Stafford, Christopher Soles
Aminopolymer sorbents are leading candidates for extracting CO2 directly from the atmosphere under ambient conditions. For effective carbon capture, this requires not only that the CO2 actively binds with amine groups of the polymer under low gas

NIST Greenhouse Gas Measurements Program: A Decade of Critical Accomplishments

June 5, 2024
Author(s)
James Whetstone, Tamae Wong, Hratch Semerjian
At COP 21 (Paris), there was general agreement that programs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate atmospheric warming will require an understanding of existing emissions as well as programs to monitor, report, and verify emissions from a broad

Research on Fixture-Level Peak Probability of Water Use in Commercial Buildings

June 5, 2024
Author(s)
Tao Li, Steven Buchberger, Toritseju Omaghomi, Gary Klein, William M. Healy
novel wireless sensor network is developed and demonstrated for monitoring indoor fixture level water use in buildings. The new technology consists of a low-cost, battery-powered, miniature wireless sensor module for non-invasive detection of flow through

Comprehensive Overview of Bottom-Up Proteomics using Mass Spectrometry

June 4, 2024

Yuming Jiang, Devasahayam Rex, Dina Schuster, Ben Neely, German Rosano, Norbert Volkmar, Amanda Momenzadeh, Trenton Peters-Clarke, Susan Egbert, Simion Kreimer, Emma Doud, Oliver Cook, Amit Yadav, Muralidharan Vanuopadath, Martin Mayta, Anna Duboff, Nicholas Riley, Robert Moritz, Jesse Meyer
Proteomics is the large scale study of protein structure and function from biological systems through protein identification and quantification. "Shotgun proteomics" or "bottom-up proteomics" is the prevailing strategy, in which proteins are hydrolyzed

Standards and Performance Metrics for On-Road Automated Vehicles

June 4, 2024
Author(s)
Craig I. Schlenoff, Zeid Kootbally, Prem Rachakonda, Suzanne Lightman, Apostol Vassilev, David A. Wollman, Edward Griffor
On September 5–8, 2023, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) held the second Standards and Performance Metrics for On‐Road Automated Vehicles Workshop. This four‐day virtual event provided updates on NIST's recent work in automated

Water-Enhanced CO2 Capture with Molecular Salt Sodium Guanidinate

June 4, 2024
Author(s)
Hayden Evans, Marcus Carter, Wei Zhou, Taner N. Yildirim, Craig Brown, Hui Wu
Solid-state amine absorbent materials, including those containing guanidine derivatives, have received tremendous attention as the world combats the challenges of climate change. Although these materials are attractive for their selective CO2 capture
