American manufacturing, once seen as the world's icon of industrialization and then as a symbol of decline, is once again changing. Rethinking Manufacturing is the story of two young individuals who are on the cutting edge of that revolution.
After decades of groundbreaking laboratory work, the world's scientific and technical community came together on November 16, 2018, to redefine four of the seven base units for the International System of Units (SI). An affirmative vote means the kilogram (mass), kelvin (temperature), ampere (electric current) and mole (amount of substance) would be determined by fundamental constants of nature rather than by physical objects.
An Emmy winning short film about a scientist and a historian teaming up to discover the mostly forgotten history of Wilmer Souder, a scientist who worked at the National Bureau of Standards (now NIST) from 1911 to 1954. Souder was an early expert in the field of forensic science.
NIST research reveal that context plays a critical factor in why users click or don't click on a phishing email. Why do phishing emails remain so effective at disrupting our computer networks? The paper published in IEEE Computer [LINK] offers a complete set of recommendations for CIOs, and a paper forthcoming from their presentation at this year's USEC conference provides details on the research methods and results.
Philosophically, what is "time"? https://www.nist.gov/topics/time-frequency Even if we don't completely understand what time is, we can precisely measure what time it is, thanks to the atomic clock, humankind's most accurate measurement device. Atomic clocks have revolutionized navigation. Only time will tell us its future applications.

IT and bioscience experts at NIST worked together to create the Web Image Processing Pipeline (WIPP) to allow anyone with an auto-imaging tool to collect, view, and manage terabyte-sized images. The user experience is a lot like using a phone mapping app to view cell changes across time, space and function.
