The world of mass spectrometry has been evolving at an astounding rate as developers push what is an inherently powerful analytical technique to even higher levels of capability. Numerous configurations of tandem mass analyzers have been commercialized, with one of the most recent being ion-trap time-of-flight.

A new imaging technique based on MRI scans lets researchers study brain structure changes in early stages of the disease.

The issue of whether light is a particle or a wave was an important historical debate. The actual answer is still unnerving to some people. Here, we will explore the history of this question and present the modern interpretation of the nature of light.

In this month's installment of "Chemometrics in Spectroscopy," the authors again explore that vital link between statistics and chemometrics, this time with an emphasis on the statistics side.
