The use of ICP-MS is constantly expanding into an ever-wider variety of applications. We assess the current landscape and where the technique is going in the future.

We study the spectra of organic nitrogen polymers with a particular focus on polyamides.

Combining multiplex coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (MCARS) microscopy with automated data processing enables a simple and more accessible method for label-free bioimaging.

Spectroscopists offer their views on their salaries and the current job market, weighing in on topics such as job security, economic recession, and skill sets of new workers.

In this review, we show a wide range of examples of the expanding use of multivariate analysis (MVA) in pharmaceutical manufacturing and control. MVA is being used to resolve numerous analytical challenges, such as overcoming matrix effects, extracting reliable data from dynamic matrices, and more.

In combination with attenuated total reflectance (ATR), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy can be used to classify different moss species.
