The suite has three configurations to help laboratories standardize workflows.

In the second episode of “Spectroscopy Around the Globe,” we will shift from Egypt to England, where we will explore how spectroscopy is helping us learn more about Stonehenge, a popular tourist attraction.

This "Focus on Quality" column will explore how a regulated laboratory can leverage supplier software development and testing to reduce User Acceptance Testing (UAT) of a configured spectrometer software.

Measuring neonicotinoids in drinking water is not heavily regulated in the United States, but low-cost, rapid analytical tools are changing the conversation.

An upcoming talk at the American Chemical Society (ACS) Fall 2026 Meeting will discuss new insights into the origins of Mars’s early water.

An upcoming talk at the American Chemical Society (ACS) Fall 2026 Meeting will discuss how spectroscopy is advancing the assessment of novel psychoactive substances.

This review critically examines the progress in the characterization of carbon nanotubes and graphene, emphasizing how each X-ray technique probes a different aspect of structure–property relationships.

An upcoming poster session at the American Chemical Society (ACS) Fall 2026 Meeting will explore how spectroscopy can be used to identify the origin of lithium in oilfield wastewater.

Revisiting Spectroscopy’s State of the Industry poll published last year indicates the direction the field is going, and how spectroscopists can succeed in a competitive job market.

Not all universities and colleges have the equipment people use in industry, which puts students at a disadvantage compared to those who can access and use these instruments.

A rule proposed by the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) would give political appointees final authority over discretionary grant decisions ahead of peer reviewers, allow agencies to terminate active grants without a formal right of appeal, and restrict international collaboration and publication funding across federal science agencies. For the optical, molecular, vibrational, and atomic spectroscopy community, the proposal could affect the grants, journal support, and student and postdoctoral positions that sustain the field.

Top articles published this week include a new “IR Spectral Interpretation” column and a preview of the upcoming American Chemical Society (ACS) Fall 2026 Meeting.

A recent study showcased an auto-focusing laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) imaging system that uses a motor-driven focusing mirror to track surface height changes in real time, cutting signal variability on irregular surfaces and improving spectral stability more than eightfold compared to conventional static systems.

Can spectroscopy help cities manage water quality during monsoons?

An upcoming conference will review the advances in vibrational spectroscopy.
