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 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.

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.

Cybersecurity and privacy risks can threaten patient confidentiality.

New guidelines can help an organization determine ways to incorporate AI into its operations while mitigating cybersecurity risks.

Beginning with the 2026 award cycle, the Alliance for Performance Excellence and the Baldrige Foundation will take on most operations for the program.

This calculation is necessary for future space navigation and communication networks.

Making metals processing more sustainable and resilient will support U.S industrial innovation and competitiveness.

The Center for AI Standards and Innovation at NIST evaluated several leading models from DeepSeek, an AI company based in the People’s Republic of China.

The CHIPS for America funding opportunity will support critical research, prototyping and commercial solutions that advance microelectronics technology in the United States.

There are currently more than 514,000 cybersecurity job openings in the U.S.

A team including scientists at NIST may have found a new way of dealing with noise at the microscopic scales where quantum physics reigns.

Investigators share likely failure scenarios, advance indicators of building’s distress.

The NIST reference material, called NISTCHO, will help the biopharmaceutical industry develop new drugs more quickly and ensure that they are safe and effective.

Many types of air cleaners can generate small amounts of air pollution. Until now, there was no standard way to measure these negative by-products.

The catalog revision is part of NIST’s response to a recent executive order on strengthening the nation’s cybersecurity.

The technology, which may someday be as portable as a smartphone, promises faster and more accurate measurements of radiation exposure, potentially saving lives in critical situations.

The new method will be useful in various fields, including nanomedicine, food science, environmental science and advanced manufacturing.

The winning projects were competitively selected following a call for innovative proposals that address technical needs related to NIST’s research areas.

Face morphing software, which combines photos of different people into a single image, is being used to commit identity fraud.

Four related algorithms are now ready for use to protect data created and transmitted by the Internet of Things and other electronics.

The public meetings will include updates on NIST’s investigations into the impacts of Hurricane Maria and the partial collapse of the Champlain Towers South.
