On Wednesday, March 5th, the Williams Wright Award will be presented to David W. Schiering of 908 Devices. We preview the award session here.

In this article, the basic principles, advantages, and limitations of different optical techniques for obtaining seed vigor estimates are introduced and reviewed, and the key technology of non-destructive optical detection of single seeds will be discussed.

A recent study from China explored a new, non-destructive method combining terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) and machine learning to accurately classify wheat gluten strength.

A recent study demonstrated how to advance chemical education with decommissioned optical spectrometers.

A recent study examined how spectroscopic techniques, such as laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and single-particle aerosol mass spectrometry (SPAMS), are monitoring indoor air quality.

Sirish Subash is the winner of the Young Scientist Award, presented by 3M and Discovery education. His work incorporates spectrophotometry, a nondestructive method that measures the light of various wavelengths that is reflected off fruits and vegetables.
