We take a walk through history here, providing the historical background on a recent multidisciplinary study that investigated the Angels Musicians murals in Valencia Cathedral.

Paolo Oliveri of the University of Genoa (Italy) sat down with Spectroscopy to discuss the case for artificial intelligence’s (AI) increasing influence in chemistry, and maintained that the chemometrics field has long employed tools now labeled as AI and machine learning (ML).

Top articles published this week include an interview with Jorge Caceres of Complutense University, an inside look at pharmaceutical fermentation monitoring, and a news article on timely drug intelligence.

This review article highlights how a new review by Da-Wen Sun demonstrates that integrating spectroscopy with chemometric techniques can significantly improve cold chain food quality monitoring, authentication, and overall system efficiency.

Researchers at the University of Lausanne investigated the potential of rapid and portable spectroscopic techniques such as Raman and NIR for illicit drug profiling, with the aim of enhancing the timeliness and operational utility of the generated intelligence for ongoing investigations as opposed to utilizing gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy.

A recent study investigated how structural phase changes inside sensing materials dynamically influence performance during gas exposure.

The study reveals that infrared and Raman spectroscopy can accurately identify dye sources and detect light-induced chemical degradation in culturally significant Māori harakeke fibers.

A new review by researchers from the University of Waterloo, Sanofi, and McGill University highlights how vibrational and fluorescence spectroscopy are reshaping real-time monitoring of pharmaceutical bioprocesses. The authors detail recent advances in UV-Vis, NIR-MIR, Raman, and fluorescence sensing, supported by modern chemometrics and AI tools.

In this article, we focus on why LIBS is particularly ideal for forensic applications, especially for studying human or animal remains.

In this brief article, we discuss a rare celestial event that happened in late November involving the planet Saturn.

A new perspective article by Anna de Juan and Rodrigo Rocha de Oliveira highlights how hyperspectral imaging (HSI), paired with advanced chemometrics, is redefining process analytical technology (PAT) by coupling chemical specificity with full-field spatial resolution. Their work outlines how HSI surpasses classical spectroscopic PAT tools and enables quantitative, qualitative, and mechanistic insight into chemical processes in real time.

Jorge Caceres, a professor at Complutense University in Madrid, Spain, sat down with Spectroscopy to discuss how LIBS works as a fast, simple, cost-effective, and analytically conclusive technique for confidently re-associating human bone remains.

Damodaran Krishnan Achary explains how experimental NMR and computational chemistry work together to reveal the structure, dynamics, and reaction mechanisms of complex systems like ionic liquids.
