NIST promotes U.S. innovation & competitiveness by advancing measurement science, standards & tech to enhance economic security & improve our quality of life.
- Who you gonna call when you’re spooked by a mystery compound? NIST! NIST has updated its comprehensive list of chemical fingerprints, called mass spectra, that others rely on to identify unknown compounds in food, drugs, and even space rocks. 🔗 nist.gov/news-events/ne…
- It’s summer vacation! What (science) podcasts do you plan to listen to while you’re roadtripping, flying, or enjoying your afternoon at the pool?
- Don’t even get us started on uncalibrated instruments.
00:00 - A new NIST AI model can identify safe evacuation routes, one step at a time. The model currently works for single-story floor plans and can someday be used with electronic displays in a building to show whether an exit is safe. Learn more: nist.gov/news-events/ne…
00:00 - What do salad dressings and metal alloys have in common? They need to be mixed well. For dressings, you only need to shake the bottle. But to mix alloys while 3D printing, NIST researchers needed to invent a way to stir the molten metal with lasers. 🔗 bit.ly/3RO0qgA
- It’s all fun and games until someone gets a laser in the eye. And unfortunately, in tabletop gaming, this sometimes happens. But a NIST laser expert has helped some Colorado gamers play more safely. Learn more in our latest Taking Measure blog post: nist.gov/blogs/taking-m…
- We spotted this on our Maryland campus. Our researchers are anything but sticks in the mud.
- NIST is extending the scope of and calling for new members for the newly renamed NIST AI Consortium. It will focus on AI innovation and adoption, with six task groups concentrating on aspects of AI measurement science and evaluation. Details at nist.gov/news-events/ne…
- Born to measure things, forced to explain that metrology is not the study of weather.

Funding Alert: @NIST announced an upcoming $10M opportunity for existing @MFGUSA institutes to develop Technology Transition Roadmaps! Learn More: nist.gov/ampo/notice-in…
- Researchers at NIST are making single-photon detectors using superconducting materials chilled to near absolute zero. These quantum sensors can detect signals that were previously invisible. Learn more: nist.gov/quantum-inform…
