A recent review article explores how SEM-EDS is being used to evaluate solar panel corrosion.

Top articles published this week include a tutorial on spectroscopy in the energy industry, a look at how hyperspectral imaging (HSI) is advancing science and medicine, and an inside look at the Alvin submersible and how spectroscopy has aided its operations in exploring the deep sea.

Using optical and near-infrared spectroscopy, researchers have identified crystalline water ice as the likely driver of explosive outbursts on comet 12P/Pons-Brooks. Their findings link this dramatic cometary activity to a process once observed in comets 17P/Holmes and 332P/Ikeya–Murakami.

In this interview segment with Rohith Reddy, he discusses how mid-infrared spectroscopic imaging (MIRSI) can be used to help detect numerous disease types.

A recent study presented a novel deep learning model that could improve the prediction of fuel properties in the petroleum industry.

A new international review highlights how hyperspectral imaging (HSI) is revolutionizing diverse fields—from counterfeit detection and agriculture to cancer diagnostics—by capturing unprecedented spectral detail invisible to traditional cameras. The study identifies major advances, challenges, and the growing role of artificial intelligence in real-time HSI applications.

Researchers have developed a new method combining unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) hyperspectral imaging with satellite data to monitor chlorophyll-a (Chla) and total nitrogen (TN) concentrations in coastal wetland waters. Their approach enhances the precision and scalability of water quality assessments, providing a model for managing eutrophication in fragile ecosystems.

This article provides a clear refresher on key spectroscopy techniques—IR/NIR, Raman, UV–Vis, XPS/XAS, NMR, ICP-MS, and LIBS—and their applications in the energy industry, from batteries and solar panels to fuel production and emissions monitoring.

Recently, a team of researchers investigated a new approach for manipulating electron motion at the femtosecond timescale.
