Jay P. Kitt, a University of Utah research assistant professor who has spent a decade extending confocal Raman microscopy from phospholipid membranes to nucleic acids and peptide-membrane interactions, is the recipient of Spectroscopy's 2026 Emerging Leader in Molecular Spectroscopy Award.

In this preview of the upcoming 2026 SciX Conference, we highlight a new social event that attendees should consider going to.

In this Q&A, we explore the advanced techniques, methods, and real-world applications of FT-IR spectroscopy.

In this Q&A overview, we highlight what the latest edition of “What’s Nu” covers and how chemical fingerprinting is changing rapidly.

A proof-of-concept study combines a convolutional neural network feature extractor with the conventional hit quality index (HQI) to improve Raman spectral comparison, reducing spurious similarity and improving discrimination between closely related protein and antibody spectra.

What steps should one take if one wants to pursue a career studying the molecular makeup of celestial bodies?

Trust and understanding are the two key principles to keep in mind when advising trade commissions in the food science industry.

Top content published this week include a historical examination of the James L. Waters Symposium, an obituary of Peter Griffiths, and an article examining Raman spectroscopy instrumentation.

A new peer-reviewed article discusses how pairing quantum mechanics with nanomaterial-based Raman spectroscopy has significantly boosted the technique's sensitivity.

The nomination deadline for the 2027 EAS Chemometrics Award, which recognizes significant and lasting contributions to chemometrics, has been extended to September 15, 2026.

John Philip Walters, Ph.D. (1938-2026), was an analytical chemist who spent 17 years researching the physics of spark-discharge emission spectroscopy at the University of Wisconsin-Madison before moving to St. Olaf College in 1982, where he became best known for pioneering a role-playing undergraduate laboratory model that had students take on professional roles to mirror real analytical-chemistry work. His 1991 three-part series on the approach in Analytical Chemistry earned him the ACS Division of Analytical Chemistry's J. Calvin Giddings Award in 1993, and he continued extending his understand-the-system teaching philosophy into computer-controlled instrumentation well into his later career.

The SciX 2026 Conference returns to Sparks, Nevada, this year. Here's what attendees can expect.

What is the one thing scientists often struggle with that holds them back in their careers? According to Kantha Shelke, Principal of Corvus Blue LLC and Senior Lecturer at Johns Hopkins University, scientists need to translate science into a language that resonates with non-scientific audiences.
