Applications are now being accepted for the 2009Gordon Kirkbright Bursary. The Gordon F. Kirkbright bursaryaward is a prestigious annual award that enables apromising student/nontenured young scientist of anynation to attend a recognized scientific meeting or visit aplace of learning.
The fund for this bursary was established in 1985 as amemorial to Professor Gordon Kirkbright in recognitionof his contributions to analytical spectroscopy and to sciencein general. Although the fund is administered bythe Association of British Spectroscopists Trust, theaward is not restricted to spectroscopists.

IoT-based Spectral Sensing Brings Real-Time Grape Ripeness Monitoring to Vineyards
February 26th 2025A team of researchers from the International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL) in Braga, Portugal, has developed an autonomous Internet of Things (IoT) spectral sensing system designed to monitor grape ripening in real-time. The study, led by Hugo M. Oliveira, Alessio Tugnolo, Natacha Fontes, Carlos Marques, and Álvaro Geraldes, was published in Computers and Electronics in Agriculture and introduces a novel approach to non-destructive, in-situ optical monitoring of grape maturity.
