APP OF THE MONTH: X-ray Transitions Energies Mobile App
OFFERED BY: SGX Sensortech
PLATFORMS: Android (2.3.3 and up), iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch (requires iOS 5.0). This app is optimized for iPhone 5.
WHAT IT DOES: With a reverse look-up function, this app is designed to allow the user to specify a transition energy value in keV and will automatically determine and display the elements and ‘lines’ closest to this value. It reportedly allows the user to select an element and displays the X-ray transition energies for this element. Values are based on experimental values. Where experimental values are not available, the database uses theoretically derived values. The app also includes a database with general properties for each element.

The fNIRS Glossary Project: A Community-Sourced Glossary of Key Terms
April 28th 2025Established to develop a community-sourced glossary covering key functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) terms, including those related to the continuous-wave (CW), frequency-domain (FD), and time-domain (TD) NIRS techniques, the fNIRS Glossary Project features over 300 terms categorized into six key domains: analysis, experimental design, hardware, neuroscience, mathematics, and physics. It also includes abbreviations, symbols, synonyms, references, alternative definitions, and figures where relevant.
