APP OF THE MONTH: LearnLight Spectrometry
OFFERED BY: Flappit.com
PLATFORMS: iOS 4.3 or later (compatible with iPad),Android
WHAT IT DOES: LearnLight is designed to allow users to compare any of five included spectral images and plot their visible light intensity, transmittance, and absorbance. The app reportedly teaches users about visible light, spectrometry, spectroscopy, and spectrophotometry. According to the company, users can set one image as a reference and another as a sample; observe how altering width (in pixels) of a given selection changes the resulting data; compare the relative intensities of blue, red, and green light energy; and find the relationship between transmittance and absorbance.

FT-IR Analysis of pH and Xylitol Driven Conformational Changes of Ovalbumin–Amide VI Band Study
November 21st 2024This study uses Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy to analyze how the globular protein ovalbumin's secondary structures transition under varying pH conditions in the presence of the cosolvent xylitol, highlighting the role of noncovalent interactions in these conformational changes.
