Reliability, dynamic measurements, artificial intelligence, and real-world applications are reshaping Raman spectroscopy – while Molecular Photonics points toward new translational frontiers.

In this “Tutorial Tuesday” clip, we explore one of the spectroscopic techniques that are used to characterize polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).

An upcoming presentation will explore how we can better understand and control nanoparticle morphology is critical for tuning material performance.

Jurgen Popp, Thomas Mayerhofer, and colleagues at Leibniz IPHT and Friedrich Schiller University Jena introduce the Personalized Optical Digital Twin (PODT), a Photonics21 contribution to Europe's Virtual Human Twin ecosystem that connects molecular photonics—Raman blood analysis, coherent Raman tissue imaging, and multimodal endomicroscopy—with longitudinal physiology and clinical data. Drawing on the published multicenter INTELLIGENCE trials, the authors argue that technical feasibility and clinical utility must be evaluated separately as the field moves toward Europe's FP10 research agenda.

What are the main risks of leaving a corporate job and going into business for yourself?

The 2026 SciX Conference will offer an assortment of short courses during the conference week in Sparks, Nevada. We highlight these courses below.

Top content published this week include a feature article on our 2026 Emerging Leader in Molecular Spectroscopy award winner and more.

An upcoming interview with Brandon E. Boor, the Dr. Margery E. Hoffman Associate Professor in Purdue University's Lyles School of Civil and Construction Engineering, will recap his talk at the American Chemical Society (ACS) Fall 2026 Meeting.

An upcoming talk at SciX 2026 will explore how spectroscopy is being used to evaluate urban air pollution.

The Peter Griffiths Award, named for the legendary infrared spectroscopist, recognizes the best paper published annually in Applied Spectroscopy Practica. Its inaugural recipients, Sara Fraser-Miller and coauthors, will be honored at SciX 2026, and the journal is now accepting 2026 submissions for the third award.

In this preview of the 2026 SciX Conference, we offer an overview of the keynote presentation.

Jay P. Kitt, a University of Utah research assistant professor who has spent a decade extending confocal Raman microscopy from phospholipid membranes to nucleic acids and peptide-membrane interactions, is the recipient of Spectroscopy's 2026 Emerging Leader in Molecular Spectroscopy Award.

In this preview of the upcoming 2026 SciX Conference, we highlight a new social event that attendees should consider going to.
