The Society for Applied Spectroscopy (SAS) and the SAS Atomic Technical Section is currently seeking nominations for the 2021 SAS Atomic Spectroscopy Student Award.
The Society for Applied Spectroscopy (SAS) and the SAS Atomic Technical Section are pleased to announce the call for submissions to the 2021 SAS Atomic Spectroscopy Student Award. This award will be given to undergraduate and graduate students who have excelled in the area of atomic spectroscopy.
Selected students will be required to present their work as an oral presentation at SciX 2021, which will be held in Providence, Rhode Island, from September 26–October 1.
The 2021 SAS Atomic Spectroscopy Student Award will come with travel assistance greater than $500 and a two-year SAS membership after graduation.
To apply or recommend a student, please submit the following materials:
These application documents should be emailed to Derrick Quarles and Ben Manard at atomic.section@s-a-s.org no later than March 1, 2021. Late applications will not be accepted. Award winners will be notified in April 2021.
Students that submit an application for the award must be a current SAS member or register at the time of submission. Student memberships can be completed online by clicking here, or by phone (+1-301-694-8122).
All questions regarding the 2021 SAS Atomic Spectroscopy Student Award should be directed to SAS at the following email address: atomic.section@s-a-s.org.
New Fluorescence Model Enhances Aflatoxin Detection in Vegetable Oils
March 12th 2025A research team from Nanjing University of Finance and Economics has developed a new analytical model using fluorescence spectroscopy and neural networks to improve the detection of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in vegetable oils. The model effectively restores AFB1’s intrinsic fluorescence by accounting for absorption and scattering interferences from oil matrices, enhancing the accuracy and efficiency for food safety testing.
New Study Shows FT-MIR Spectroscopy Can Authenticate Parmigiano Reggiano Farming Practices
March 11th 2025A new study published in the Journal of Dairy Science demonstrates that FT-MIR spectroscopy can effectively authenticate farming practices and dairy systems in Parmigiano Reggiano production but has limited ability to verify animal welfare parameters.
Advancing NIR and Imaging Spectroscopy in Food and Bioanalysis
March 11th 2025Our full-length interview with Huck covers more than just NIR spectroscopy in food and bio analysis. Spectroscopy sat down with Huck to also discuss current trends going on in spectroscopy, delving into what challenges spectroscopists face today and how they can solve these concerns.
