HIGHLIGHTS OF APPS FOR SPECTROSCOPY
APP NAME: 1HCSC
OFFERED BY: EAJ Consulting
PLATFORMS: Android 2.1 and up, iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch (requires iOS 7.0 or later)
WHAT IT DOES: The 1HCSC app is designed as a proton chemical shift calculator. According to the company, the app can calculate proton NMR chemical shifts for any proton. The chemical shift is automatically calculated based on additivity constants. Users can calculate aliphatic, aromatic, or olefinic protons based on substituents and their relative position to the proton whose shift is being calculated.

LIBS Illuminates the Hidden Health Risks of Indoor Welding and Soldering
April 23rd 2025A new dual-spectroscopy approach reveals real-time pollution threats in indoor workspaces. Chinese researchers have pioneered the use of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and aerosol mass spectrometry to uncover and monitor harmful heavy metal and dust emissions from soldering and welding in real-time. These complementary tools offer a fast, accurate means to evaluate air quality threats in industrial and indoor environments—where people spend most of their time.
NIR Spectroscopy Explored as Sustainable Approach to Detecting Bovine Mastitis
April 23rd 2025A new study published in Applied Food Research demonstrates that near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) can effectively detect subclinical bovine mastitis in milk, offering a fast, non-invasive method to guide targeted antibiotic treatment and support sustainable dairy practices.
