Researchers and manufacturers rely on the library to identify unknown compounds in food, drugs, cosmetics, the environment, body fluids, forensic evidence and even space rocks.

NIST also improved how X-rays are used to study the atomic structure of metals in real time during 3D printing, allowing researchers to observe how materials change under extreme conditions.

A NIST-led team has created a new AI model that can identify safe evacuation routes in a single-story floor plan during a fire, with a multilevel version in the works.

The consortium will focus on AI innovation and adoption, with six task groups concentrating on different aspects of AI measurement science and evaluation.

Lunar craters in permanent shadow could be ideal locations for building the most stable optical lasers ever made.

In the fourth of an ongoing series of reports, NIST shows that wear and tear increased the levels of PFAS found in hoods and gloves.

Expanded collaborations with leading U.S. AI labs provide for pre-deployment evaluations and other research.

A NIST researcher has unveiled the results of a 10-year quest to measure the constant.

NIST scientists and collaborators have pioneered a way to make integrated circuits for light by depositing complex patterns of specialized materials onto silicon wafers.

The advance could allow these technologies to operate in deep-space probes, inside nuclear reactors, in ultrahigh vacuum systems, and at temperatures both near absolute zero and in scorchingly hot industrial settings.

The new tools are an annotated collection of 10,000 fingerprints and a software program that can sort fingerprints according to their quality.

The report includes an overview of work completed on the Champlain Towers South investigation.

The award highlights organizations that focus on resilience.

The Initiative will ensure that the next generation of AI is widely adopted with confidence, can function securely on behalf of its users, and can interoperate smoothly across the digital ecosystem.

The reference material is the first to include mixtures of high-quality and degraded DNA from different individuals.  

NIST is allocating funding to eight small businesses in seven states under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program.

Seven NIST reference materials, including house dust and freeze-dried human liver tissue, have been flown to the International Space Station.

The Center for AI Standards and Innovation (CAISI) at the U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has published a Request for Information (RFI) seeking insights from industry, academia, and the security

NIST has expanded its collaboration with the nonprofit MITRE Corporation as part of its efforts to ensure U.S. leadership in artificial intelligence.

Molecules can serve as versatile building blocks for quantum technologies, but they are much harder to control than atoms.
