The traceability to ITS-90 of the thermocouples to be calibrated is often possible only by time-consuming and metrologically complex comparison measurements against radiation thermometers in furnaces, specially developed for this purpose.
A collaboration of scientists from NIST and the University of Nijmegen (Netherlands) has shown that two sets of nearly-identical nanolines created by laser-focused atomic deposition can interfere with each other to form a metrologically significant moire pattern.
In addition, NIST is metrologically supporting that facility's own provision of NIST-traceable calibrations in gear form and other dimensional quantities.
