NIST, originally founded as the National Bureau of Standards in 1901, works to strengthen U.S. industry's competitiveness; advance science and engineering; and improve public health, safety, and the environment. One of the agency's basic functions is to develop, maintain, and retain custody of the national standards of measurement, and provide the means and methods for comparing standards used in science, engineering, manufacturing, commerce, industry, and education with the standards adopted or recognized by the Federal Government. As an agency of the U.S. Commerce Department's Technology Administration, NIST conducts basic and applied research in the physical sciences and engineering, and develops measurement techniques, test methods, standards, and related services. The Institute does generic and precompetitive work on new and advanced technologies. NIST's research facilities are located at Gaithersburg, MD 20899, and at Boulder, CO 80303. Major technical operating units and their principal activities are listed below.

  • Research Report China's New Scientific Elite: Distinguished
    Research Report China’s New Scientific Elite: Distinguished Young Scientists, the Research Environment and Hopes for Chinese Science* Cong Cao and Richard P. Suttmeier The health of the scientific research enterprise in any country is critically dependent upon young scientists. In most fields, the period of greatest creativity and productivity comes early in a career. Young scientists hold together the generational structure of a country’s scientific community by linking the established scientific elite with a rising generation of graduate students. They also play a critical role in maintaining the community’s normative structure. The generational structure of the scientific community in China is characterized by a major discontinuity. The years of the Cultural Revol- ution, from 1966 to 1976, seriously disrupted university education and postgraduate training. Thus, just as the new Deng Xiaoping-led regime began stressing the importance of scientific and technological develop- ment for China’s modernization, China entered the post-Mao era in the late 1970s with a missing cohort of rising young scientists. Recognizing the generational gap in the technical community, China’s leaders set about re-establishing and reforming the system of higher education, and began to send large numbers of students and scholars abroad for advanced training and graduate education. Although only about one-third of the 380,000 who went abroad over the past 20 years have gone back to China,1 those who have returned have come to play important roles in implementing the ambitious policies for scientific research and high technology development which have unfolded in the post-Mao period.
