Wiley Releases Database Combining Two of the World's Most Trusted Chemical Identification Resources
Latest edition of the Wiley Registry/NIST Mass Spectral Library for leading pharmaceutical, environmental, and forensic laboratories worldwide expands coverage to more than 1.2 million spectra
-
Wiley (NYSE: WLY), a global leader in authoritative content and research intelligence, today released the new edition of the Wiley Registry/NIST Mass Spectral Library, a reference database that combines twoessential mass spectrometry references in a single, integrated collection, giving scientists the full depth of both to identify unknown chemical compounds.
For years, laboratories doing GC-MS analysis have relied on Wiley's renowned Wiley Registry of Mass Spectral Data and the NIST/EPA/NIH EI Mass Spectral Library from the U.S. government's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to power their analytical workflows. These two respected references are united in this database, one of the most comprehensive resources of its kind.
The new 2026 edition updates the collection, adding tens of thousands of newly validated compounds across both libraries and bringing the total to more than 1.2 million electron ionization (EI) mass spectra--unique chemical "signatures" used to identify substances.
The Wiley Registry/NIST Mass Spectral Library is part of Wiley's growing portfolio of scientific data and research intelligence solutions, which spans spectral databases, chemistry and materials literature, and analytical tools supporting researchers from discovery through applied outcomes.
Wiley's spectral database solutions are trusted by leading pharmaceutical, environmental, and forensic laboratories worldwide, reflecting Wiley's mission to transform knowledge into actionable intelligence that helps researchers make confident, high-stakes decisions.
"When a scientist runs a sample through a mass spectrometer, the results are only as good as the reference data behind them," said Armughan Rafat, Wiley senior vice president and chief AI & data analytics officer. "By uniting the Wiley Registry and the NIST Library in a single resource, we deliver the breadth, quality, and validation scientists need to identify unknown compounds faster and with confidence."
Available in the most common instrumentation manufacturer formats, the library supports high-confidence analysis across GC-MS workflows.
Spectral Databases
Spectral databases contain unique molecular "fingerprints" of substances captured through analytical techniques such as infrared (IR), mass spectrometry (MS), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and Raman spectroscopy. By comparing experimental spectra against validated reference data, researchers can accurately identify unknown compounds across a wide range of applications.

Oracle and Community Foundation of Southern New Mexico Celebrate First Scholarship Awards for Dona Ana County
As students across Dona Ana County prepare for the upcoming academic year, a new group will receive additional support to help them stay focused on earning their degrees.
Earlier this year, Oracle and the Community Foundation of Southern New Mexico announced a shared commitment to help local students pursue higher education. Today, that commitment isopening doors for students across Dona Ana County as scholarships have been awarded to 25 students pursuing degrees at the state's four-year and community colleges, with special consideration given to students from Santa Teresa, Sunland Park, and surrounding communities.
As recipients pursue degrees in fields such as education, nursing, and social work, they are preparing to make meaningful contributions to their community. Among this year's scholarship recipients is Ruben Gutierrez from Dona Ana County, who reflected on what receiving this scholarship means:
"I want to start off by thanking [Oracle] for providing me with this scholarship. This means a lot to me and my family, as it will allow me to attend New Mexico State University with a lot less financial stress. This scholarship will not only help me attend, but it will also let me focus strongly on my studies and to achieve all the goals that I have set for myself. My goal is to give back to the community that raised me and shaped me into the person that I am today. Your selection makes me feel honored and grateful as a person and as a student. I am motivated to work as hard as possible and to not give up until all my goals are achieved. This scholarship shows me that others believe in me; they believe in my future, and they believe in what I can accomplish. This scholarship, this opportunity, will stick with me forever, and when I become a teacher and later a school principal, I will give back to my community the same way you have to me."
While New Mexico's tuition-free college programs have expanded access to higher education, many students continue to face the costs of housing, transportation, books, food, and other everyday expenses. These scholarships help bridge that gap, giving students the support they need to stay focused on their education and achieve their goals.
"Each scholarship represents more than financial assistance. It's an investment in a student's future and in the future of our community," said Terra V. Winter, PhD, President and CEO of the Community Foundation of Southern New Mexico. "By helping reduce financial barriers, these scholarships make it possible for more students to complete their degrees and pursue meaningful careers."
"Scholarships create cycles of opportunity," said Colleen Cassity, global head of Social Impact, Oracle. "When we receive support, like a scholarship, we're often inspired to pay it forward by helping others. By investing in local students today, scholarships help build the leaders, innovators, and community champions who will shape the future of Dona Ana County for generations to come."
The scholarship program is part of Oracle and Project Jupiter's ongoing community investments in Dona Ana County and across New Mexico.

PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania, Aug. 12 -- Comcast, a cable television company, issued the following news release on Aug. 11, 2026:

Comcast Business and Colt Technology Services Launch Innovation Lab Program to Automate Global Enterprise Connectivity
* Comcast Business and Colt Technology Services are building API-driven interoperability on Mplify LSO standards, the Innovation Lab's first program with an international carrier partner.
* Enterprises operating across North America and Europe will be able to qualify locations, receive quotes and initiate service across both networks in one coordinatedexperience.
* The program is designed to be agent-driven, enabling AI agents to help discover, order and fulfill connectivity through governed automation.
New program develops API-driven interoperability across partner networks - making global connectivity faster to order, simpler to manage, and more cost effective for multinational enterprises
-
Comcast Business, one of the nation's fastest growing enterprise technology providers, today announced the latest program in the Comcast Business Innovation Lab: a strategic collaboration with Colt Technology Services, the global digital infrastructure company and one of the largest B2B connectivity providers across Europe and Asia. Together, the companies are developing API-driven interoperability across their networks and service platforms, built on Mplify's Lifecycle Service Orchestration (LSO) standards - a new model for global connectivity designed to deliver a unified, automated experience to large enterprises.
The collaboration marks the Lab's first program with an international carrier partner and its most globally scaled initiative to date. It was scoped around a challenge multinational enterprises are navigating right now: how to procure, provision, and manage connectivity across multiple carriers and continents without the friction that has traditionally made cross-border network operations slow, manual, and expensive. The program also unites two recognized leaders in Network-as-a-Service (NaaS): at the most recent Mplify NaaS Excellence Awards, Comcast Business was honored for Best NaaS Vision in North America, and Colt was named global NaaS Service Provider of the Year.
Removing the Friction from Global Connectivity
As AI-driven workloads accelerate how quickly enterprises need to deploy and scale infrastructure, they demand connectivity that can be ordered, delivered, and managed as quickly as the applications it supports. The connectivity itself isn't the challenge - coordinating it across carriers is where enterprises can lose time and money.
The program addresses that challenge directly. It connects Comcast Business's digital orchestration platform - which exposes its network capabilities as programmable, standards-based services - with Colt's international network. The result will give enterprises programmatic access to connectivity across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, replacing manual inter-carrier processes with automated, API-driven workflows. For a multinational enterprise operating across North America and Europe, that means qualifying locations, receiving quotes, and initiating service across networks through a single, coordinated experience. Because the integration is built on open LSO standards, the same model can be extended to additional carriers without custom, one-off development.
The program will validate this interoperability in live environments with enterprise customers. Going beyond automated buy-and-sell workflows between providers, it is designed to be agent-driven - enabling AI agents to help discover, order, and fulfill connectivity through governed automation. The goal is a repeatable model for how leading carriers transact, moving cross-border networking from manual coordination to automated, intent-driven fulfillment. The program will launch with a defined set of products and markets, with the intent to expand toward broader network offerings over time.
* * *
"How enterprises build and operate their networks has become one of the most consequential technology decisions a company makes, and our job is to make that radically simpler. That's what the Innovation Lab is for - proving, with partners like Colt and against real enterprise requirements, that connectivity can move at the speed of the AI-driven business it supports."
- Bob Victor, Chief Product Officer, Comcast Business
* * *
Mirko Voltolini, VP, Technology and Innovation, Colt Technology Services, said, "Our vision is simple: global connectivity should be easy. Customers shouldn't see the boundaries between networks or carriers, they should simply get the connectivity they need, wherever they do business. By linking our platforms through open, standards-based APIs, Colt and Comcast Business are removing complexity, streamlining procurement and service management, and creating an 'easy button' for global connectivity. The result is a faster, simpler, and more seamless experience for enterprises."
Launched in April 2026, the Comcast Business Innovation Lab develops next-generation solutions in structured partnership with customers and leading technology providers. The Lab will introduce additional programs on a regular basis, driven by emerging enterprise priorities and direct customer input. Enterprises and partners interested in participating can contact the team at CBInnovationLab@comcast.com.
