Magnetic Ties May Explain High-Temp Superconductors

News Release: When it comes to superconductivity, magnetic excitations may top good vibrations. Scientists working at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Center for Neutron Research (NCNR) in collaboration with physicists from the University of Tennessee (UT) and Oak Ridge National Laboratory...


News Release: An Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientist has identified specific packaging wraps, called films, which provide several fruit and vegetable varieties with a long shelf life. Food technologist Yaguang Luo, with the ARS Produce Quality and Safety Laboratory (PQSL), Beltsville, Md., led the project. The technology she used is known as "modified atmosphere packaging," or MAP.


National Park Service Beach Access Report for July 6, 2006

News Release: Recent News: The three Piping Plover chicks at Cape Point have fledged. They were 35 days old when they were all observed in successful flight for prolonged distances. The 3-egg Piping Plover nest at Cape Point and a 3-egg Piping Plover nest on south Ocracoke Island are still in their incubation stage.


New Ion Trap May Lead to Large Quantum Computers

News Release: Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have designed and built a novel electromagnetic trap for ions that could be easily mass produced to potentially make quantum computers large enough for practical use. The new trap, described in the June 30 issue of Physical Review...


NIST, UM Program To Support Nanotech Development

News Release: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Maryland (UM) have joined in a $1.5 million cooperative program that will further NIST's efforts to develop measurement technology and other new tools designed to support all phases of nanotechnology development, from discovery...


NIST RoboCrane® Cuts Aircraft Maintenance Costs

News Release: A revolutionary robotic platform developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has been adapted for the U.S. Air Force to address the critical, expensive, and nasty work of stripping old paint from large aircraft. The robot's work platform, which "floats" in mid air suspended by a web of computer-controlled cables, promises to drastically reduce paint-stripping time per airplane, cut costs and lessen incidents of operator stress and injury.
