- 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
- 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
- Nanometer-Scale Planar Reference Materials | NIST
Reference materials of planar films will accelerate the adoption of new materials into production, improve the yield from current process technologies, and allow for manufacturers to better compare metrology and process monitoring results between foundries
- 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
- Metrology of Purity and Contaminants in Solid Materials
Summary Chips manufacturers use a variety of high-purity solid materials, such as silicon, germanium, copper, gold, silver, GeSi, AlGaN, etc , in their processes Reliable chips require that these source materials be extremely pure and that they be qualified based on overall purity and priority contaminants
- Applied Materials | NIST
Applied Materials will work with university partners to provide internships and graduate research opportunities for graduate, undergraduate, and training in community colleges for students in advanced packaging, chiplet integration in fabrication facilities, and chiplet substrate design
