Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed a highly sensitive thermometer using ...

Unlike a regular thermometer, this one doesn’t need to be touched or even adjusted. ... a postdoctoral researcher at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have created a new thermometer using atoms boosted to such high energy levels that they are a thousand times larger than normal.

Usually that’s done using some reference surface that’s held at a constant temperature via some sort of contact thermometer, and that contact thermometer has been calibrated to another contact ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the federal body that sets technology standards for governmental agencies, standards organizations, and private companies, has proposed ...

The post-quantum encryption algorithm that the National Institute of Standards and Technology, or NIST, released in final form today has been vetted for years by experts. The institute encouraged ...

The importance of NIST. Before diving deeper into the specific request, it's important to appreciate NIST's role in shaping standards, not just in the US, but globally. NIST was formed as part of the ...

The three standards revealed by NIST yesterday (13 August) stem from these algorithms and have been given new names to reflect their role in future encryption.

In trials NIST found that the same principle could also be extended to room-temperature standards, using an array of nanoscale holes in a metal film. The project team believes that positioning errors ...

To make their quantum thermometer, the NIST team started by placing rubidium gas in a vacuum chamber. They cooled it to near absolute zero—around 0.5 millikelvin—using lasers and magnetic fields.

Jan 24, 2025: New atom-based thermometer measures temperature more accurately (Nanowerk News) Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have created a new thermometer ...
