Pittcon 2026 will take place March 9–11, 2026, in San Antonio, Texas, building on the 2025 conference’s emphasis on eco-friendly practices and serving as the premier global event in analytical research, scientific instrumentation, and applied spectroscopy. An opening plenary session, “Spectroscopy and Sustainability: A Perfect Match,” will highlight how advances in spectroscopic technologies—from biomedical and pharmaceutical applications to UAV-based hyperspectral imaging, CBRNE detection, hazardous materials monitoring, and even extraterrestrial studies—are driving sustainable solutions across diverse fields.

Hunter Andrews, an R&D Staff Scientist at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, discusses the key role that laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) plays in his research.

Gerardo Gamez, a Professor and Graduate Advisor at Texas Tech University, discusses the work that his laboratory at Texas Tech University performs using compressed sensing spectroscopy techniques.

Researchers at Jiangnan University have developed a rapid, one-pot magnetic enrichment and electrochemical sensing platform that enables highly sensitive, streamlined detection of polystyrene microplastics.

Responding to a growing need for real-time elemental analysis, Thermo Fisher Scientific announced the launch of its Niton XL5e Handheld XRF Analyzer.

Patrick Parsons of the New York State Department of Health discusses the results of his recent study comparing different X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzers.

Gerardo Gamez, a Professor and Graduate Advisor at Texas Tech University, provides an overview about what glow discharge optical emission spectroscopy (GDOES) is and why it’s a useful technique for elemental mapping.

Hunter Andrews, an R&D Staff Scientist at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, discusses the work that he does in his laboratory.

Top articles published this week include two interviews previewing the Winter Conference on Plasma Spectrochemistry and an inside look at shale oil extraction.

A recent study demonstrated that hyperspectral imaging offers a highly accurate, dramatically faster alternative to traditional FT-IR methods for identifying microplastics in the Po River.
