The U.S. Government National Standards Strategy for Critical and Emerging Technology (USG NSSCET) Implementation Roadmap was recently released at a White House summit. The roadmap includes recommendations for implementing the USG NSSCET, which: • Promotes technologically sound standards that help American industry compete internationally on a level playing field. • Supports existing private sector-led standards activities.

Measure. Innovate. Lead.
About us
We are the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), a non-regulatory federal agency within the U.S. Department of Commerce. For more than a century, NIST has helped to keep U.S. technology at the leading edge. Our measurements support the smallest of technologies to the largest and most complex of human-made creations. NIST's mission is to promote U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness by advancing measurement science, standards, and technology in ways that enhance economic security and improve our quality of life. See what innovative work we’re doing to support it: https://www.nist.gov/

Delivered right to your newsfeed, get a roundup of our Tech Beat e-newsletter content on LinkedIn! Hemp and marijuana both come from the cannabis plant, with the main difference being the proportion of the psychoactive compound THC they contain. These two cannabis products have different uses as well as different legal status in federal and state laws. Our new hemp reference material will, among other things, help producers and regulators ensure that these cannabis products are accurately labeled. As the market for cannabis products is growing, NIST is doing a lot of work on them, including measuring THC in the breath of cannabis smokers and helping labs distinguish between hemp and marijuana, as well as measuring the THC and CBD compounds in these products. #ScienceAndTechnology #Science #Technology #Newsletter

Ever wonder how we make sure ultraviolet (UV) light is strong enough to kill germs but not overly strong and cause damage to the items being sterilized? NIST's newly rebuilt UV calibration facility helps ensure that UV detectors across the country are accurately measuring light we can't even see. From keeping our drinking water clean to battling healthcare-associated infections, precise UV measurements are more important than ever.

In 2018, the world agreed to redefine the kilogram. Instead of being pegged to the mass of a physical object in a vault in France, the kilogram is now defined by a few fundamental constants in nature. This means researchers no longer have to worry about a physical object that can decay or change over time, potentially throwing the world’s measurements into chaos. But the transition away from using a physical object has presented some challenges. So, NIST researcher Darine Haddad, Beatrice Rodiek from Germany’s national measurement science institute (the PTB) and their colleagues are working together to understand why different measurement approaches are leading to different outcomes. They hope to bridge the small gap between different techniques – and learn much more about measurement science in the process. Learn more about this tricky measurement challenge in our latest Taking Measure blog post: https://lnkd.in/dFEXXC2g #Measurement #Standards #Metrology #Mass

NIST researchers recently participated in training for autonomous vehicle (AV) testing, which took place in a safely enclosed parking lot space on NIST’s campus. How autonomous are we talking? In this case, the vehicle followed a pre-recorded path: It turned the steering wheel, hit the brake and speed up by itself along an established route. But first, researchers needed to be trained on how to use the vehicle autonomously before they recorded the path. In the training, the safety instructor, who sat in the passenger seat, assigned different roles to the researchers: one was the safety driver, who is responsible for taking control of the vehicle if needed, and the other was the vehicle operator, who controlled the vehicle using a video-game-like controller (from the back seat). Once training was completed, the researchers transferred the tools and testing methodologies from simulation to the physical vehicle. NIST’s research in this space will look at evaluating the performance of different AV system technologies, such as AI, cybersecurity, communications and sensing/perception. #AutonomousVehicle #Systems #Technology #ComputerScience

This month is Plastic Free July. To celebrate the event, we’re spotlighting NIST researcher Ashley Hartwell, an early-career engineer. Ashley studies ways to reduce waste and recycle efficiently. Q: Why did you decide to become an engineer? I really liked science, and I used to go to these space camps run by the University of Chicago where we would do cool experiments, such as measuring the speed of light or learning about what mapping looks like in space. But I didn't know what a career in science looked like. I was drawn to engineering because of the way it uses science to solve specific real-world problems. My conception of myself as an engineer has changed throughout my career. As a student, I often questioned, “Am I enough of an engineer?” But I had this great mentor. Working with her and seeing how she approached problems made me realize that’s what I want for myself. Q: Do you have any advice for young women thinking about a career in engineering? Someone gave me this great piece of advice: Don’t tell yourself “no.” Let other people tell you “no.” There are a lot of opportunities you miss out on if you don’t ask. I think that’s particularly important as a woman engineer, and as a black woman engineer. Don’t let any fear or perceptions or doubt get in your way. You might as well ask. The worst thing is the potential for a “no.” But don’t give that to yourself. And it gets easier the more you ask. #Engineering #Engineer #EarlyCareer #WomenInSTEM
