This interactive e-book covers the recent trends and developments in analytical spectroscopy and how it is being used in archaeology and cultural heritage analysis.

Infrared (IR) spectroscopy, paired with statistical modeling, can non-destructively distinguish human, dog, and cat bloodstains on sand and soil, offering a preliminary proof-of-concept for field-deployable forensic screening tools.

In this preview of the upcoming American Chemical Society (ACS) Fall 2026 Meeting, we sat down with Pavithraa “Pavi” Sundararajan, a postdoctoral fellow at NASA Ames Research Center, discusses how spectroscopic techniques have been applied in the study of nitrogen-containing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).

Top articles published this week include a new peer-reviewed article how laser pulse width and repetition rate affect quantitative elemental analysis of aluminum alloys using fiber laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and more.

Researchers developed spherical and hollow gold nanoparticle-based SERS platforms that enable label-free molecular imaging of chemotherapy drug effects and drug release within cancer cells, offering a theranostic tool with potential applications in early cancer diagnostics.

In the second episode of “Spectroscopy Around the Globe,” host Will Wetzel takes viewers on a journey to England to explore how spectroscopy is being used to uncover the secrets of Stonehenge.

A study using fiber laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (FL-LIBS) to evaluate how pulse width and repetition rate affect the quantitative analysis of elements in aluminum alloys, reporting improved detection sensitivity and limit of detection at high repetition rate.

Environmental analysis is a growing area of study, and single-particle inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (spICP-MS) is one of the techniques contributing to this growth.

The following articles are the most accessed digital object identifier (DOI) manuscripts for Spectroscopy and LCGC International during the month of July 2026. Nine articles are ranked here by DOI page views; a tenth entry in the July report (135 views) was recorded against the bare journal-level DOI rather than an individual article and is therefore not attributable to a single manuscript.

How can inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) detect particles that were missed in initial analyses?

An upcoming poster presentation set to take place at the American Chemical Society (ACS) Fall 2026 Meeting will explore how spectroscopy is being used to distinguish different roasted coffee types.

Can spectroscopy make real-time monitoring in nuclear and radioisotope facilities faster and safer?
