A recent study demonstrates that near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy is a fast, cost-effective, and reliable tool for assessing soil and tree ecological traits, offering major potential for large-scale forest conservation and monitoring.

In this brief article, we discuss a rare celestial event that happened in late November involving the planet Saturn.

A new perspective article by Anna de Juan and Rodrigo Rocha de Oliveira highlights how hyperspectral imaging (HSI), paired with advanced chemometrics, is redefining process analytical technology (PAT) by coupling chemical specificity with full-field spatial resolution. Their work outlines how HSI surpasses classical spectroscopic PAT tools and enables quantitative, qualitative, and mechanistic insight into chemical processes in real time.

Jorge Caceres, a professor at Complutense University in Madrid, Spain, sat down with Spectroscopy to discuss how LIBS works as a fast, simple, cost-effective, and analytically conclusive technique for confidently re-associating human bone remains.

Damodaran Krishnan Achary explains how experimental NMR and computational chemistry work together to reveal the structure, dynamics, and reaction mechanisms of complex systems like ionic liquids.

Top articles published this week include an interview with Damodaran Kirshnan Achary, who is the director of the NMR Facility at the University of Pittsburgh, and a tutorial article on biosensors.

In this study, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and solvent extraction were used to detect aconitine (AC) in various complex matrices using gold nanorod substrates. The experimental results demonstrated that ether efficiently extracted AC from soy sauce as an example complex matrix.

Damodaran Krishnan Achary of University of Pittsburgh highlights how modern NMR education is shifting toward real-world samples and interdisciplinary applications, reflecting the needs of industry and materials science researchers.

The University of Pittsburgh professor discusses how diffusion, relaxation, multinuclear, and ultra-high-resolution NMR experiments can be strategically applied to probe structure, dynamics, and interactions in complex chemical systems.

A recent study demonstrated that deep learning combined with ICP spectroscopy can accurately and affordably predict multiple soil properties.

The article highlights how rapidly advancing, non-destructive spectroscopic and imaging technologies, supported by AI, multi-modal data integration, and increasing instrument portability.

Damodaran Krishnan Achary discusses how advanced NMR techniques reveal the unique structure, cation–anion interactions, and dynamic behavior of ionic liquids, providing insights that other analytical methods cannot capture.

A research team has developed the first short synthetic peptide-based biosensor for real-time tracking of the disease-related protease matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), using multi-parametric surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy (MP-SPR).
