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
- 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

Advanced Materials NIST Additive Manufacturing researches advanced materials, such as biomaterials, composites, and metamaterials Learn more NIST studies advanced materials for additive manufacturing, such as biomaterials and composites, like the prosthetics pictured above
- 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 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
- 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
- Materials | NIST
Materials Genome Initiative (federal government wide) NIST MGI Standard Reference Materials 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
- Materials by Design | NIST
The team then contributed data to the developing materials-innovation infrastructure, making it easier for anyone to design new coinage materials in the future “One of the big goals for the MGI is to make materials data more accessible and reusable,” says Campbell “I believe ours are the first computationally designed coinage materials ”
