Pharmaceutical Industry Embraces NIR Technology (PDF)

Researchers from Gifu Pharmaceutical University and Gifu University Hospital unveil a novel polaprezinc (PLZ) mucoadhesive film designed to replace painful lozenges for cancer patients.

An interview with Charles Wilkins, the winner of the 2013 American Chemical Society Division of Analytical Chemistry Award in Chemical Instrumentation, sponsored by the Dow Chemical Company.

A new study by researchers from Palo Alto Research Center (PARC, a Xerox Company) and LG Chem Power presents a novel method for real-time battery monitoring using embedded fiber-optic sensors. This approach enhances state-of-charge (SOC) and state-of-health (SOH) estimations, potentially improving the efficiency and lifespan of lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles (xEVs).

A recent study from Chinese researchers sheds light on protein unfolding and hydration structure dynamics in hydrogels, with implications for drug delivery and biomedical applications.

Researchers in China have developed a lightweight deep learning system for rapid, non-destructive analysis of wheat flour composition.

A study published in Sustainability by Giuseppe Bonifazi and his team at Sapienza University of Rome demonstrates how short-wave infrared (SWIR) spectroscopy combined with machine learning offers a noninvasive, accurate, and sustainable method for detecting asbestos in various materials.
