Keywords: Advanced Measurement Laboratory; Nanotribology (5940464161).jpg In this laboratory NIST researchers develop metrology tools for nanoparticle manipulation and for studying atomic and molecular frictional forces The instrument shown is an ultra-high vacuum scanning tunneling microscope and atomic force microscope This instrument requires ultra low vibration extremely stable temperature and ultraclean air to realize its full capabilities Results from the lab will help improve the durability of micro- and nano-devices such as tiny motors positioning devices or encoders as well as the assembly of nanoparticles to form new materials Courtesy HDR Architecture Inc /Steve Hall © Hedrich Blessing Disclaimer Any mention of commercial products within NIST web pages is for information only; it does not imply recommendation or endorsement by NIST Use of NIST Information These World Wide Web pages are provided as a public service by the National Institute of Standards and Technology NIST With the exception of material marked as copyrighted information presented on these pages is considered public information and may be distributed or copied Use of appropriate byline/photo/image credits is requested https //www flickr com/photos/usnistgov/5940464161/ Advanced Measurement Laboratory; Nanotribology 2011-07-15 12 21 https //www flickr com/people/63059536 N06 National Institute of Standards and Technology PD-USGov National Institute of Standards and Technology https //flickr com/photos/63059536 N06/5940464161 2016-09-07 02 32 03 United States Government Work Uncategorized 2016 December 20 |
