And for materials, the information can be much more complex than just “snow” or “no snow.” For materials, that means many of the same things Jim Warren talked about with his steel samples: the list of ingredients, the manufacturing process, “that is, the soufflé recipe,” Warren says.
NIST develops testbeds, defines benchmarks and develops formability measurements and models for a variety of emerging materials.
As part of the JARVIS workshop series, the 7th Artificial Intelligence for Materials Science (AIMS) is a workshop aimed at getting together experts from industry, academia, and government to facilitate highly technical dialogue on the intersection of AI and materials science. Some of the key research areas for materials AI that will be discussed at the meeting are: developing well-curated and ...
materials needed for optical science research and industrial applications. The interaction of light with matter is different at different wavelengths and the techniques to measure the optical properties differ based on the spectral region of interest. This document addresses the techniques
The Materials Measurement Science Division is actively developing new Standard Reference Materials (SRMs) for various materials measurement techniques. For reference, we also list SRM products that have been discontinued.
Abstract Art and materials innovation have always been intertwined, dating back to the earliest human creations. In modern times, however, the increasing specialization of materials science often restricts artists' access to cutting-edge materials. Here, the materials science aspects of an art-science collaboration between artist Kimsooja and the Wiesner Lab at Cornell University, are detailed ...
Scientists from NIST and other institutions have created the first neutron “Airy beam,” which has unusual capabilities that ordinary neutron beams do not. This achievement could enhance neutron-based techniques for investigating the properties of materials that are difficult to explore by other means. For example, the beams can probe characteristics of molecules such as chirality, which is ...
