Researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed an optical detection strategy for circulating tumor cells (CTCs), combining machine learning (ML) and dual-modal surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). This approach offers high sensitivity, specificity, and efficiency, potentially advancing early cancer diagnosis.

A recent study combines hyperspectral imaging (HSI) technology with chemometrics to deliver improved quality control of black garlic.

Top articles published this week include two peer-reviewed articles that explore optical detection technology for seed vigor and classifying flowers, as well as a profile on Benjamin Manard, who was recognized as the winner of the 2025 Emerging Leader in Atomic Spectroscopy.

A recent study used surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) combined with chemometrics to assess polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in water.
