Katharine Blodgett Gebbie (July 4, 1932 – August 17, 2016) was an American astrophysicist and civil servant.She was the founding director of the Physical Measurement Laboratory of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and of its two immediate predecessors, the Physics Laboratory and the Center for Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics, both for which she was the only ...
NIST had an operating budget for fiscal year 2007 (October 1, 2006 – September 30, 2007) of about $843.3 million. NIST's 2009 budget was $992 million, and it also received $610 million as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. [18] NIST employs about 2,900 scientists, engineers, technicians, and support and administrative personnel.
The physics package of the NIST chip-scale atomic clock. A chip scale atomic clock (CSAC) is a compact, low-power atomic clock fabricated using techniques of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and incorporating a low-power semiconductor laser as the light source.
Hight Walker works as a research physicist at NIST. She served as a program analyst in NIST Office of the Director from 2000 to 2001 and was an invited researcher at Laboratoire Aimé Cotton in Orsay from 2005 to 2006.
NIST physicist Jun Ye adjusts the laser setup for a strontium atomic clock in his laboratory at JILA in 2009. Jun Ye (Chinese: 叶军; pinyin: Yè Jūn; born 1967) is a Chinese-American physicist at JILA, National Institute of Standards and Technology, and the University of Colorado Boulder, working primarily in the field of atomic, molecular, and optical physics.

In 1990, Hanssen moved to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) where he is currently employed. [1] At NIST, Hanssen is responsible for realizing and maintaining the United States scales for infrared spectral reflectance, transmittance, and emittance of materials. He manages the Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometry ...
Quantum chemistry computer programs are used in computational chemistry to implement the methods of quantum chemistry. Most include the Hartree–Fock (HF) and some post-Hartree–Fock methods. They may also include density functional theory (DFT), molecular mechanics or semi-empirical quantum chemistry methods .
