- Bioinspired Materials Can Take a Punch | NIST
The mantis shrimp packs a powerful punch thanks partly to unique structures in its exoskeleton NIST researchers have fabricated synthetic versions of these structures and tested their impact resistance by blasting them with microprojectiles These bioinspired structures can be used to create new, impact-resistant materials for aerospace, defense, sports and more
- Standard Reference Materials | NIST
NIST supports accurate and compatible measurements by certifying and providing over 1200 Standard Reference Materials® with well-characterized composition or properties, or both
- Materials Data Resources | NIST
Materials Resource Registry allows for the registration of materials resources, bridging the gap between existing resources, software and repositories and end users
- Rare Crystal Shape Found to Increase the Strength of 3D-Printed Metal
NIST researchers have found special atomic patterns called quasicrystals in 3D-printed aluminum alloys Quasicrystals increase the strength of 3D-printed aluminum, the researchers discovered, making it possible to use in lightweight, high-strength objects such as airplane parts Once thought impossible, quasicrystals were originally discovered at NIST, leading to a 2011 Nobel Prize in Chemistry
- Materials | NIST
Plastics, carbon nanotubes, high-strength alloys, artificial bone and joint replacements are just some of the emerging materials for which NIST develops testbeds, defines benchmarks, and develops formability measurements and models
- Reference Materials | NIST
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
- Software Security in Supply Chains: Software Bill of Materials (SBOM)
Figure 2 - Illustrative Example of Software Life Cycle and Bill of Materials Assembly Line When applicable to a procurement action, federal agencies should require their suppliers of software products and services to provide access to machine-readable SBOMs in conformance with the EO and NTIA’s The Minimum Elements For a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) by containing: Data fields
- Additive Manufacturing of Advanced Materials | NIST
Cementitious Materials Our team studies cementitious materials to develop measurement science tools and standards for additive manufacturing Learn more NIST studies cementitious materials for additive manufacturing, like the 3D printed cement structure pictured above
