Sept. 10 -- Researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) are conducting simulations at the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF) to advance the measurement science of concrete and to gain a fundamental understanding of how it flows.

NIST, an agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce, was established by Congress at the turn of the century to develop a measurement infrastructure to help improve U.S. industrial competitiveness. Today, NIST measurements support every technological creation from nanoscale devices to global communication networks.
