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
Metrology of Purity and Contaminants in Solid Materials Summary Chips manufacturers use a variety of high-purity solid materials, such as silicon, germanium, copper, gold, silver, GeSi, AlGaN, etc , in their processes Reliable chips require that these source materials be extremely pure and that they be qualified based on overall purity and priority contaminants
Nanometer-Scale Planar Reference Materials | NIST Reference materials of planar films will accelerate the adoption of new materials into production, improve the yield from current process technologies, and allow for manufacturers to better compare metrology and process monitoring results between foundries
Materials | NIST Plastics, carbon nanotubes, high-strength alloys, artificial bone and joint replacements are just some of the emerging materials for which NIST develops testbeds, defines benchmarks, and develops formability measurements and models
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
Applied Materials | NIST Applied Materials will work with university partners to provide internships and graduate research opportunities for graduate, undergraduate, and training in community colleges for students in advanced packaging, chiplet integration in fabrication facilities, and chiplet substrate design
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
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
