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
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
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
Materials by Design | NIST The team then contributed data to the developing materials-innovation infrastructure, making it easier for anyone to design new coinage materials in the future “One of the big goals for the MGI is to make materials data more accessible and reusable,” says Campbell “I believe ours are the first computationally designed coinage materials ”
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
Standard Reference Materials | NIST NIST supports accurate and compatible measurements by certifying and providing over 1200 Standard Reference Materials® with well-characterized composition or properties, or both
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
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
