Highlights from What’s Nu October 2026
In this Q&A, we recap the October edition of “What’s Nu,” which covered topics such as how novel spectroscopic and analytical methods are transforming environmental monitoring, medical treatment, and accessibility in scientific research.
Education distance learning, e-learning, and online learning are all types of personal development. | Image Credit: © ipuwadol - stock.adobe.com
In this segment of our SciX interview with Kevin Wilkinson, a professor of environmental chemistry at the Université de Montréal, discusses extending lead isotope work to greater distances and explains why graduate students need adaptability, critical judgment, and coding skills more than expertise in any single instrument.
Atoms Don't Lie–The Remaking of Atomic Spectroscopy, © Hallie -chronicles-stock.adobe.com
Atomic spectroscopy has quietly gone from counting elements in bulk to counting single nanoparticles, imaging tissue at the micrometer scale, and reading Martian rocks from several meters away. The instruments got smaller, the software got smarter, and the questions they can now answer got a lot more interesting.
Tutorial Tuesday: When to Use Infrared Spectroscopy
In this “Tutorial Tuesday” clip, Peter Larkin, who is a Manager of Spectroscopy, Thermal Analysis, and Chromatography at Syensqo, highlights how people use the method or technique that they are comfortable with, even if it’s not the best one to use.
