Max Planck, one of the Twentieth Century’s most eminent physicists, observed, "An experiment is a question that science poses to Nature, and a measurement is
Physicist Jun Ye has a knack for making every second count—literally. At JILA, a joint research institute of the University of Colorado and the National
To reach this point, NIST postdoctoral researcher Maria Munoz journeyed across borders and seas. Take a trip with us as we trace her career path from elementary
NIST’s Material Measurement Laboratory and Physical Measurement Laboratory are developing a first-of-kind X-ray testbed for operando monitoring of catalytic
Condensed matter dynamics can evolve on a subpicosecond timescale, too fast to follow using many characterization techniques. We use femtosecond optical pulses
Conventional techniques for analyzing chemical composition, such as infrared (IR) microscopy often miss critically important nanoscale details. To overcome this
This project aims to develop rigorous measurements and methodology needed for determining optical and electrical properties of advanced materials that might be

Clear visualization and understanding of luminescence properties of grain interiors and grain boundaries in polycrystalline thin-film photovoltaic materials are
CLIP is an analysis program for fluorescence lifetime images. It provides the user with the ability to fit or calculate the phasor plots for lifetime decays
The Parallel Beam Diffractometer laboratory is a highly-controlled space (0.01 degree C stability) containing a set of absolutely calibrated stacked goniometer
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
The new beamline 10, currently under construction, is intended for applications that make use of the super-thermal brightness from SURF in the near- to mid
Beamline 4 is a general purpose radiometric beamline consists of a 2 m monochromator to disperse radiation from SURF III. An Absolute Cryogenic Radiometer (ACR)
