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 characterization | NIST Project activities include: Electronic structure of semiconductor-oxide interfaces Thermodynamics of flexible microporous materials for gas storage Gas adsorption in microporous materials Analysis of topological materials, including magnetic topological insulators High-throughput screening of
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 Genome Initiative | NIST Materials by Design the Materials Genome Initiative at NIST The 2021 MGI Strategic Plan The Materials Genome Initiative marks its first decade with a new strategic plan Read the summary, or get the full report (PDF) The missions of the Materials Genome Initiative and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) are tightly aligned
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
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
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
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
