For 125 years, NIST's scientists and engineers have partnered with industry, academia, and government to advance America's technology and biotechnology sectors. NIST measurements underpin innovations at every scale—from nanoscale devices so small that tens of thousands fit on a single human hair, to earthquake-resistant skyscrapers and global communication networks. NIST standards and reference materials are foundational to bioscience and biotech research, driving breakthroughs in diagnostics, therapeutics, and human health. |
