Micrometer-Precise Material Analysis
Precise material analysis plays a central role in many industries, from the pharmaceutical and food industries to construction materials, biotechnology, and environmental sciences.
The -isms of a Man Who Rejected -isms
I’m exploring one of the most fascinating aspects of Heinz von Foerster’s work: his complete rejection of philosophical labels and -isms.
New NIST Reference Strengthens Quality Control for Biological Drugs

A team of NIST researchers, including Srivalli Telikepalli (shown here), developed a standard reference material that will help biopharmaceutical companies better detect these particles in their drug products.
A rapidly growing category of drugs called protein-based biotherapeutics can be used to treat cancers and genetic and autoimmune disorders.

Lakshmy Kannadi Valloli of Brookhaven Lab’s Chemistry Division performing experiments at Brookhaven’s Laser Electron Accelerator Facility. These experiments created a solvent radical and followed the chemistry as it produced a previously unknown intermediate form of a nickel-based catalyst.
Ateam of scientists across several U.S. Department of Energy national laboratories has unraveled how light and a previously unknown form of certain nickel-based catalysts together unlock and preserve reactivity.
Pharmaceutical Serialization
Pharmaceutical serialization practices are on the rise and have progressively become a worldwide standard as a result of stringent regulations in various of markets, including the United States, European Union, China, and Argentina.

Measure Twice, Cut Once
My grandfather was a carpenter, so growing up I often heard the adage, “Be sure to measure twice so you only have to cut once.” The saying is also attributed to tailors—you have to make sure your measurements are correct before you cut the fabric.
Why Quality Can’t Wait
In life sciences, every decision carries weight—and speed to market is an ever-present consideration. Scientific innovation is moving faster than ever, yet regulatory demands are growing more complex, and supply chain fragility has become the new normal.
