Researchers have explored the potential of combining near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) with machine learning (ML) to create a non-invasive, rapid diagnostic tool for liver fibrosis detection, a key factor in transplant surgery planning. These approaches could offer a more accurate and accessible alternative to traditional methods like biopsy.

The editors of Spectroscopy provide a compilation of talks that spectroscopists should consider attending on Tuesday January 28th during the Photonics West Conference in San Francisco, California.

A recent study explored how laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) signals are influenced by ambient gas properties.

To better determine fish freshness within the context of rapid spectroscopic analyses, salmon fillet was analyzed via hand-held fluorescence and absorption spectroscopy devices across the visible and near-infrared (vis-NIR) range and benchmarked against industry-standard potentiometry and the gold-standard laboratory procedure, nucleotide extraction assays, over a 11-day period.
