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.

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.

One of the biggest challenges with precast concrete is connecting the concrete pieces at a job site.

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.
