Résumé

This volume, covering the years 1969-1993, describes further scientific and technological advances and the evolution of NIST into an Institution that has also impacted and helped US private industry and interests. It records the rich recent history of NIST and illustrates its many contributions to knowledge, technology and society. The following topics and laboratories are treated: Electronics and Electrical Engineering Laboratory: electricity; semiconductor electronics; electromagnetic fields; electromagnetic technology (high-temperature superconductivity); Manufacturing Engineering Laboratory: precision engineering; automated production technology; robot systems; factory automation; Chemical Science and Technology Laboratory: biotechnology; chemical engineering (pulse-tube refrigerators; space shuttle engineering; cryogenic fluid flow; thermophysical properties of cryogenic fluids); chemical kinetics and thermodynamics; inorganic analysis; organic analysis; chemical processes; surface chemistry and microanalysis; thermophysics; Physics Laboratory: electron and optical physics (theories of high-temperature superconductivity); ionizing radiation; Materials Science and Engineering Laboratory: ceramics; materials reliability (cryogenic properties of materials; oxide superconductors); polymers; metallurgy; reactor radiation (high-critical temperature superconductors and phonons; low-temperature motion of protons in scandium); Building and Fire Research Laboratory.
