The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is the United States’ premier standards and measurements laboratory. NIST’s numerous varied and wide
Fruits and vegetables brought in from outside the country first require health and foodborne pathogen inspections. NIST research chemist Ileana Pazos helps the
Ultrashort mid-infrared laser pulses are used to observe fast molecular and photochemical reaction processes occurring in the condensed phase. We have developed
Calorimetry based upon remote sensing of the temperature field in an irradiated volume would offer distinct advantages for the dosimetry of nonstandard beams
A program for the development of dosimetry standards for radiobiology was launched through a highly successful workshop. The NIAID/NCI/NIST-sponsored workshop

We present measurements and a model of aluminum oxidation induced by ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Spots of oxide were grown by focusing synchrotron radiation
The Parallel Beam Diffractometer laboratory is a highly-controlled space (0.01 degree C stability) containing a set of absolutely calibrated stacked goniometer
The Neutron Interferometry and Optics Facilities are located at the NIST Center for Neutron Research. They are one of the world's premier facilities for neutron
Three independent femtosecond laser systems used for generating ultrafast pulses in the mid-IR (and far infrared:THz) through the UV; infrared (InSb and MCT)
Absolute source-based radiometry is founded in the traceability of a light source’s output to measurable operational parameters. The absolute irradiance at BL-2
