Posted in: 2016 Highlights, Featured Highlights, Scientific Highlights,
Fashion is changing in the avant-garde world of next-generation computer component materials. Traditional semiconductors like silicon are releasing their last new lines. Exotic materials called topological insulators (TIs) are on their way in. And when it comes to cool, nitrogen is the new helium. This was clearly on display in a novel experiment at the

Posted in: 2016 Highlights, Featured Highlights, Scientific Highlights,
For the first time, a team including scientists from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have used neutron beams to create holograms of large solid objects, revealing details about their interiors in ways that ordinary laser light-based visual holograms cannot. The research was a multi-institutional collaboration that included scientists from NIST and the
