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
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
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
Quantum Matters in Material Sciences (QMMS) | NIST As part of the JARVIS workshop series, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is organizing the 4th Quantum Matters in Materials Science (QMMS) workshop in-person on Feb 19-20, 2025 The workshop will be focused on quantum phenomena in emerging materials for next generation devices All materials are inherently quantum in nature, but when quantum phenomena manifest at the
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

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
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
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
