A team at Hebei University has developed a fluorescent probe that visualizes heavy metal stress in plant cells by detecting changes in intracellular viscosity, offering researchers a new real-time tool for assessing crop stress resistance.

Why is determining the function of a surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) assay important? This "Pathways in Spectroscopy" clip offers career advice for researchers in biological and clinical analysis by addressing this question.

How is spectroscopy being used to detect methane and contribute to sustainability missions?

Top articles published this week include a new “Pathways in Spectroscopy” clip, an exploration of the recent advances in Raman spectroscopy and artificial intelligence (AI), and a preview of an upcoming conference focused on tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS).

A Portuguese study suggests a low-cost optical technique could help stratify risk for delayed graft function before transplantation, though researchers caution the findings require larger-scale validation.

PicoQuant announced the launch of a new microscope designed for materials characterization.

This column considers the spectra of saturated rings, such as cyclopentane and cyclohexane, and how not all of them are easily detectable by infrared spectroscopy.
