Title: NIST Celebrates 120 Years of Atomic Spectroscopy with Colloquium
NIST, formerly known as the National Bureau of Standards, has been at the forefront of atomic spectroscopy research for exactly 120 years. Over the past century, their work has evolved into a vital scientific endeavor that has produced atomic reference standards, precise measurements, and thorough analyses of atomic spectra. These contributions have been crucial for various fields, including astrophysics, energy research, atomic clocks, lithography, and more.
To celebrate this significant milestone, NIST is hosting a one-day colloquium titled “120 Years of Atomic Spectroscopy at NIST” on December 13, 2024, at their Gaithersburg, MD location. The event will feature esteemed speakers from various scientific fields, including Nobel Prize winners, who will discuss the importance of atomic spectroscopy in their work and the contributions made by NIST scientists. The colloquium will be an informal gathering where attendees can explore the significance and future potential of atomic spectroscopy in modern research.
