NIST

Washington, DC - Measurements are key to scientific and technological innovation. It’s like a field of dreams: Better measurements always find useful applications.

Proving this credo, NIST's nearly 120 years of research to advance measurement science, standards and technology have had significant impacts on American innovation and quality of life.

This is remarkable for a small federal agency focused on developing practical solutions to the nation’s ever-changing technology needs.
