This resource consists of methods for matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry on a wide variety of synthetic polymers. The methods are taken from the peer-review scientific literature. The database covers the period from 1988, the year of Tanaka's first paper on the subject, through 2011. Each recipe comes with a literature citation and associated digital object identifier (DOI) when available. The database currently contains entries for over 1250 polymer/matrix combinations.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology, as part of its report on the collapse of the World Trade Center, characterized many important steels recovered from the buildings to provide stress-strain models to analyze the impact, fires, and resulting collapse. Those tests represent a large additional data set that can be used for modeling the response of steel structures to fire.

The atomic weights are available for elements 1 through 118 and isotopic compositions or abundances are given when appropriate. Version 3.0.

Between 1922 and 1940, the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) conducted a long-term investigation into the corrosion of bare steel and iron, pipes buried underground at 47 sites representing different soil types in the United States. Following the passage of the 2004 Pipeline Safety Improvement Act, the Department of Transportation's Office of Pipeline Safety requested that NIST review and reanalyze the data from the NBS study using modern statistical analysis tools. For this analysis, NIST compiled an updated database from the data in the publications by K. H. Logan (i.e.

This data collection contains 5,228 infrared spectra of different compounds along with chemical structures for most of them. Spectra are provided on a CD-ROM in the JCAMP-DX (Joint Committee for Atomic and Molecular Physical Data 'Data Exchange') format. Chemical structures are provided in the MOL-file format. The IR data originated from two sources, from the so-called 'EPA Vapor-Phase IR Library' and from NIST laboratories.
