Spectroscopy in Agriculture: An Interview with Dmitry Kurouski

A recent study published in Food Research International demonstrates how visible and near-infrared spectroscopy (Vis-NIRS) combined with machine-learning algorithms can accurately authenticate meat and fat based on livestock feeding systems, offering a sustainable and reliable solution for traceability in the meat industry.

A recent study examined the role that Raman spectroscopy is playing in disease diagnosis.

Volker Deckert, the winner of the 2013 Charles Mann Award, is advancing the use of tip enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) to push the lateral resolution of vibrational spectroscopy well below the Abbe limit, to achieve single-molecule sensitivity. Because the tip can be moved with sub-nanometer precision, structural information with unmatched spatial resolution can be achieved without the need of specific labels.

HSI is widely applied in fields such as remote sensing, environmental analysis, medicine, pharmaceuticals, forensics, material science, agriculture, and food science, driving advancements in research, development, and quality control.

A recent study reveals widespread and increasing microplastic contamination in the soils of Phoenix and the Sonoran Desert, highlighting significant environmental concerns and the need for further research into their sources and impacts.
