New Atomic Fountain Clock Joins Elite Group That Keeps the World on Time

2 weeks ago | nist.gov | Gabriel Popkin

Clocks on Earth are ticking a bit more regularly thanks to NIST-F4, a new atomic clock at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) campus in Boulder, Colorado. This month, NIST researchers published a journal article establishing NIST-F4 as one of the world’s most accurate timekeepers. NIST has also submitted the clock for acceptance as a primary frequency standard by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM), the body that oversees the world’s time.
NIST Updates Critical Wildfire Evacuation and Sheltering Guidance

3 weeks ago | nist.gov | Brian Gutiérrez

Wildfires move fast. They can reduce communities to ash in a matter of hours. To save as many lives as possible, officials must have an evacuation and shelter plan in place before an actual wildfire threatens their community. To support planning efforts, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has just updated its guidance on preparing for wildfires based on the latest research and community feedback.

Infographic on Post-Earthquake Functional Recovery Performance

Feb 10, 2025 | nist.gov | Katherine Johnson |Siamak Sattar |Dustin Cook

In the U.S., building codes and standards have been developed to reduce the likelihood of building collapse but do not address the loss of building functions or recovery times due to earthquakes. When scaled to the community level, negative consequences, such as lack of access to jobs and schools and, ultimately, population displacement, may occur. Buildings and infrastructure systems can be improved to better meet the needs of users and occupants after natural hazard events.
Texas Forensic Science Commission Supports NIST Recommendations

Jan 13, 2025 | nist.gov | Christina Reed

NIST forensic science program leads recommend analysts include alongside their results information about their adherence to an approved method and the performance of that method when tested using samples that are most reflective of the quality or conditions or the evidence in the case at hand. The Texas Forensic Science Commission (TFSC) reviewed the NIST authors’ recommendations and established a collaborative working group focused on understanding and implementing them in Texas labs.
