The CHIPS R&D Program would like to announce its appreciation for Dr. Tsu-Jae King Liu, who resigned from the Industrial Advisory Committee (IAC) on July 1st. Dr. Liu was an original member of the IAC when it was established in 2022. She was selected …
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and their colleagues have overcome a key obstacle to measuring gas pressure with a novel method – using beams of light traversing through a gas. Ultimately, the new work may enable …
Giving radiation to a cancer patient requires precise measurements. You need to give a lethal dose to the tumor and a nontoxic dose to the surrounding tissue. NIST researchers are working to improve these measurements, helping people with cancer live …
Certain creatures have unique microstructures in their exoskeletons that enable them to withstand heavy impacts continuously over time. These Bouligand structures can be found in the mantis shrimp, blue crab, glorious beetle and many more (shown here). …
