Illustration of a prospective biocompatible interface shows that hydrogels (green tubing), which can be generated by an electron or X-ray beam 3D-printing process, act as…
Illustration depicts a faithful reproduction of Johannes Vermeer’s “Girl With a Pearl Earring” using millions of nanopillars that control both the color and intensity of…
Vibrations in a lattice: This is an illustration of quantized lattice vibrations in a material, where the word ‘quantized’ is used to mean that only…
The fin LED pixel design includes the glowing zinc oxide fin (purple), isolating dielectric material (green), and metal contact (yellow atop green). Credit: B. Nikoobakht…
NIST digitally applied mask shapes to photos and tested the performance of face recognition algorithms developed before COVID appeared. Because real-world masks differ, the team…
A scientist places a water sample onto a custom-made platform before a test. Each water sample contains microorganisms such as the parasite Giardia and adenoviruses,…
Experimental setup to generate a set of stable frequencies in a cryogenically cooled laser microresonator frequency comb. The ring-shaped microresonator, small enough to fit on…
NIST unveils blueprint for building a three-in-one measurement tool to study quantum materials. It images single atoms. It maps atomic-scale hills and valleys on metal…
The researchers looked at the yarn count, weave and mass of fabric samples such as this 100% cotton flannel (magnified about 220x times) — which…
NIST engineer Jason Coder makes mathematical calculations for a machine learning formula that may help 5G and other wireless networks select and share communications frequencies…
NIST physicist James Chin-wen Chou adjusts one of the laser beams used to manipulate an atom and a molecule in experiments that could help build…
Linking multiple copies of these devices may lay the foundation for quantum computing. Once unimaginable, transistors consisting only of several-atom clusters or even single atoms…
Image of a novel system of coupled quantum dots taken with a scanning tunneling microscope shows electrons orbiting within two concentric sets of closely spaced…
This greatly magnified image shows four layers of atomically thin materials that form a heat-shield just two to three nanometers thick, or roughly 50,000 times…
JILA researchers used frequency combs, or “rulers of light,” to observe individual quantum energy transitions in buckyballs. Credit: Steven Burrows/JILA JILA researchers have measured hundreds…
