The article discusses four groups within the Alternative Computing Division at NIST that focus on developing advanced measurement technologies for nanoscale systems. The groups are:
1. Nanoscale Device Characterization Division: Develops innovative measurement tools to characterize quantum systems and enable new technologies. Focuses on quantum science, technology, and optics at the atomic and nanoscale level.
2. Advanced Electronics Group: Develops measurement science to improve the performance, reliability, and energy efficiency of electronic devices. Works on new characterization techniques, physics-based models, and data analysis methods.
3. Nanoscale Processes and Measurements Group: Creates instruments to study nanoscale physical and chemical processes critical for energy conversion, transport, and storage. Develops new measurement tools and techniques to understand underlying processes.
4. Nanoscale Spectroscopy Group: Conducts basic research to advance optical and electrical measurement science for nanoelectronic and thin-film devices. Develops new measurement techniques to study light-matter interactions at the nanoscale.
The groups aim to improve the performance, reliability, and energy efficiency of nanoscale devices and enable the development of new technologies and applications.
