The William J. Perry Award is not a NIST-created medal. Rather, it is bestowed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Visiting Committee on Advanced Technology (VCAT) . The award is named after William J. Perry, who served as the 19th U.S. Secretary of Defense and was a long-standing advocate for technology, innovation, and national security. The award recognizes individuals who have made extraordinary contributions to the nation’s technology, innovation, and security policy—embodying the same visionary leadership as Secretary Perry.
NIST SP 960-12 serves as a comprehensive guide to the operation and significance of , the primary time and frequency standard for the United States at the turn of the 21st century. The publication bridges the gap between complex atomic physics and general scientific understanding, explaining how the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) realized the definition of the second using laser-cooled cesium atoms.
NIST SP 960-12 explains the role of the clock in the global infrastructure. NIST-F1 does not run continuously; it is operated periodically to calibrate the time scales that do run continuously.
