From the Publishers
This September issue of The Application Notebook should be reaching our audience just as the busiest time of the year ramps up in the world of spectroscopy.
They say that timing is everything, and though this saying may have originally been applied to Broadway and Vaudeville in the early twentieth century, it is just as true when it comes to the field of modern-day materials analysis. For this September issue of The Application Notebook should be reaching our audience of analytical chemists, lab managers, and other industry professionals just as the busiest time of the year ramps up in the world of spectroscopy.

The coming months will see a spate of conferences and symposia taking place in locations from Reno, Nevada, to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to just about everywhere in between. And this year, for the first time, you can add Spectroscopy to the list of publications and organizations who will be hosting such an event. "The Spectroscopy Summit" will be taking place in early November in Boston, Massachusetts, and we are looking forward to presenting attendees with one of the most informative, dynamic events of the season. Held in conjunction with SPIE and utilizing their formidable and extensive conference-organization resources, this event will certainly attract the best and brightest in the field of materials analysis. Please check either the Spectroscopy website (

In the meantime, we would also like to take this opportunity to introduce the newest member of our sales team, Stephanie Shaffer. Stephanie has many years of experience in this field and will be a great asset to Spectroscopy and LCGC. Her contact information can be found in the masthead along with our own, and we encourage you to contact any one of us with any questions you might have. Information about submitting materials for the February 2009 edition of this series can be found on page 35, and as always, please enjoy the issue.

According to Thermo Fisher, the ARL Spark Companion pairs a multi-optics complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) detector with a compact spark source, aiming to move alloy verification out of external laboratories and closer to production.
Organized by CPACT, the April 27 to 29 meeting at the Marriott Pittsburgh City Center will bring together scientists, engineers, and vendors across the process industries, with keynotes on PAT, Raman, and NIR applications and an abstract deadline of December 7, 2026.
Garth Simpson of Purdue University outlines plans to survey more ordered molecular assemblies and to apply interface-specific chiral spectroscopy to enzyme reactors, solid-phase synthesis, spin-selective reactions, and, ultimately, a new analytical method.
In this Eastern Analytical Symposium (EAS) interview, Garth Simpson of Purdue University explains how a simple geometric effect at interfaces produced a 4.5-degree rotation in fluorescence emission from a naproxen monolayer.
Spectroscopy's editors gather 143 evergreen articles from 2026, including tutorials, terminology guides, technique reviews, application surveys, peer-reviewed research and the magazine's long-running columns, and organize them by subject so readers can build lasting knowledge one topic at a time.
A Q&A interview from SciX explored a porous-particle Raman platform became an alternative to SERS, and why AI could unlock biochemical meaning in vibrational spectra.
X-ray analytical techniques, spanning X-ray fluorescence (XRF), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), are becoming faster, more portable, and more energy-efficient, with microbeam XRF spot sizes once exclusive to synchrotrons now available on laboratory benchtops.
