Researchers from the Shanghai Institute of Technology have developed a leading-edge method using surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) to accurately differentiate between amino acid enantiomers. This breakthrough could revolutionize applications in pharmaceutical synthesis, disease diagnosis, and quality control of chiral compounds.

A recent study in Icarus examined how Mars’ ultraviolet radiation affects mineral composition on the planet’s surface.

Handheld instrumentation allows for on-site analysis without transporting samples to a laboratory, helping to reduce the cost and time of forensic investigations.

This year’s Emerging Leader in Molecular Spectroscopy Award recipient is Joseph P. Smith of Merck, whose research is significantly influencing pharmaceutical process development through his work in various spectroscopic techniques, biocatalysis, protein engineering, vaccine production, and advanced data analysis methods.

A recent study out of Russia examined the application of Raman spectroscopy in biomedical and biological research.

Researchers at Nagoya University and RIKEN have developed a novel computational method to enhance the resolution of high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM) images for studying protein conformational transitions. The algorithm, normal mode flexible fitting-atomic force microscopy (NMFF-AFM), leverages normal-mode analysis to derive precise molecular models, potentially transforming the understanding of biomolecular dynamics.

This study uses hyperspectral imaging (HSI) technology, in synergy with machine learning and deep learning algorithms, to innovate a non-destructive method for the assessment of chicken freshness.
