Washington, DC - I was a freshly minted senior in high school when I first came to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Center for Neutron Research (NCNR). That day, my father had to drive me as I wouldn’t get my license for another few months, and I wore my most formal business casual outfit (I think it was one of three times I would wear a tie that summer). Now, four years later and a senior in college, my knowledge and love of physics and experience as a researcher have grown tremendously.

Washington, DC - Tinkering with a method they helped develop over the last few years, scientists have for the first time measured at the nanometer scale the characteristic patterns of folds that give proteins their three-dimensional shape in water. Developed by researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and their colleagues, this technique will help scientists gain insights about the behavior of biomolecules in watery environments similar to those in cells. These insights, in turn, could increase our understanding of major diseases, including Alzheimer’s, that are related to “mistakes” in protein folding.
