- 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

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
- 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
- NIST’s Curved Neutron Beams Could Deliver Benefits Straight to Industry
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
- Additive Manufacturing of Materials | NIST
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
- 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
- A New Way of Designing Auxetic Materials | NIST
The new algorithm allows for fine-tuning this relationship to create auxetic materials that behave in ways you couldn’t find in nature “Our research is a beautiful example of theoretical, experimental and computational science working together to realize something new,” said NIST materials research engineer Marcos Reyes-Martinez
