- 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
- Additive Manufacturing of Advanced Materials | NIST
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
- 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
- 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
- Hierarchical Materials | NIST
These materials are used in protection, infrastructure, health monitoring, and self-healing applications In this program, external flow or electrical fields are used to organize highly anisotropic materials, such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, nanocellulose, or nanoparticles, into hierarchical composites
