NIST on a Chip
What is NIST on a Chip?
NIST has embarked on a revolutionary program that will bring cutting-edge measurement-science technology and expertise from our labs directly to users in commerce, medicine, defense and academia. We are developing a suite of inherently accurate measurement technologies that operate according to the precise, time-tested principles of quantum physics.
The ultimate goal of NIST on a Chip technology is for it to be deployed nearly anywhere and anytime, without the need for NIST’s traditional measurement services. We are seeking partnerships with the U.S. private sector and other government agencies to bring these technologies to commercial reality and unleash new capabilities for American innovation.
