About us
We are the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), a non-regulatory federal agency within the U.S. Department of Commerce. For more than a century, NIST has helped to keep U.S. technology at the leading edge. Our measurements support the smallest of technologies to the largest and most complex of human-made creations. NIST's mission is to promote U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness by advancing measurement science, standards, and technology in ways that enhance economic security and improve our quality of life. See what innovative work we’re doing to support it: https://www.nist.gov/

In support of last year’s U.S. Government National Standards Strategy for Critical and Emerging Technology, NIST is seeking feedback on its draft implementation roadmap. The draft roadmap sets forth actions and outcomes on the best ways to partner with relevant stakeholders, remove barriers to participation in international standards development, and enhance the U.S. government’s support for an international standards system that is open, consensus-based, and led by the private sector. Comments can be submitted to sco@nist.gov through July 12. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gGmKM9EH 📸: Have a Nice Day Photo/Shutterstock #Standards #Technology #RoadMap

In 1848, Lord Kelvin calculated the coldest possible temperature – known as absolute zero. Today, the metric unit for temperature is named the kelvin. On Kelvin’s 200th birthday today, NIST researcher Stephen Eckel reflects on Kelvin’s contributions to science. Kelvin helped establish absolute temperature scales and was instrumental in laying the first telegraph cables across the ocean.

Delivered right to your newsfeed, get a roundup of our Tech Beat e-newsletter content on LinkedIn! Artificial intelligence is developing so quickly that it’s hard to know where to start when it comes to assessing its potential risks. One way NIST is tackling this problem is by turning to a core area of expertise: measurement. That’s the approach of the new ARIA program, which aims to help organizations assess AI systems by developing methods for measuring their technical robustness, potential societal impacts and other factors. #ScienceAndTechnology #Science #Technology #Newsletter

There’s a new generation of treatments and medicines and it’s coming from an unlikely source: human feces. You might be asking why. It contains a sample of the trillions of microbes that reside in the human gut, which scientists have linked to numerous diseases, such as bacterial infections. One way to treat these diseases is by isolating these microbes from fecal matter and using them in therapies. NIST researchers are aiding these efforts by developing a human feces reference material. This tool can help scientists in labs and manufacturers make sure their measurements are accurate and precise.

A new cooperative research and development agreement (CRADA) between the Gates Foundation and NIST will enable the creation of standards and testing protocols for a new generation of breathalyzers that can diagnose malaria and tuberculosis (TB). Several companies and universities are developing breathalyzers. Under the CRADA, NIST researchers will create tools and techniques to ensure that they are accurate and reliable. The measurement standards NIST helps develop for malaria and TB breathalyzers have the potential to lay the foundation for further advances in clinical breath analysis. Breath-based diagnostics may soon be used to identify or monitor the progression of a wide range of conditions and diseases, including liver disease, multiple sclerosis and cancer.

For decades, a laboratory procedure known as transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has been used to test for asbestos in samples taken at construction sites. Now, NIST researchers have determined that an imaging technique called scanning electron microscopy (SEM) can achieve comparable results. Since SEM is, in many cases, cheaper and more convenient than TEM, the finding could potentially speed up and reduce the expense of asbestos remediation in the United States, which costs an estimated $3 billion every year.

Plastic is everywhere, even on farms. Farmers use plastic to cover and protect crops and help them retain water in the soil. Farmers also cover up bales of hay with plastic, so they look like giant marshmallows. But what happens when these plastics are no longer needed? In some farming communities, permanent landfills may be too far away from farms or even nonexistent, so farmers may opt to burn the plastic they no longer need. There’s also not much research available on how much or little farmers are able to recycle plastic. But NIST postdoctoral materials engineer Julie Rieland is researching how we might change that. And it starts with visiting farmers in Kansas, a state with more than 20 million acres (81,000 square kilometers) of crops. Julie is surveying farmers there about what’s keeping them from being able to recycle plastics. “A lot of it falls less on the science and more on the social and the infrastructure side,” Julie said. Julie is surveying farmers to see what types of plastics they use on their farms and what the barriers to recycling might be. She’s hoping to learn about how we can create a better recycling infrastructure that works for farmers and would be geared toward recycling the types of plastics used on farms. She’s passionate about creating a society that relies less on plastic — and keeps plastic in use longer, rather than simply tossing it in the trash, or worse, burning it. Julie hopes her work will lead to more sustainable farms — and a healthier planet — for all of us. #Materials #Plastics #Sustainability #Polymers #Recycling
