An upcoming talk at the SciX Conference will explore the concept of electroosmosis, and how machine learning (ML) can be used to understand electroosmotic flow behavior.

At the upcoming 2026 SciX Conference, Ji-Xin Cheng at Boston University will be recognized with the Charles Mann Award for Applied Raman Spectroscopy. Leading up to the conference, Cheng sat down with Spectroscopy to talk about the advancements being made in confocal Raman microscopy.

An upcoming talk at SciX 2026 Conference will describe a new multimodal platform using laser ablation inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) elemental mapping that can detect nanoparticles and microplastics in biological tissue.

Top content published this week include a feature article on a new innovation called the Personalized Optical Digital Twin (PODT), a recap of the International Conference on Raman Spectroscopy (ICORS) 2026 show, and a Q&A on measuring nanoparticle formation in indoor air.

In the final part of our conversation with Brandon Boor of Purdue University, he explains the respiratory deposition model his team used to analyze indoor particle exposure.

In the second part of our interview with Brandon Boor of Purdue University, he discusses how his team controls experimental variables during cleaning experiments in order to obtain interpretable data.

An upcoming interview with Ji-Xin Cheng, a Theodore Moustakas Distinguished Professor in Photonics and Optoelectronics at Boston University, will highlight his ongoing work in coherent Raman scattering microscopy.

In the first part of a multi-part Q&A, Brandon Boor, the Dr. Margery E. Hoffman Associate Professor in the Lyles School of Civil and Construction Engineering at Purdue University, describes the instrumentation and methodology behind measuring nanoparticle size distributions at the nanocluster scale (1–3 nm) and outlines the technical challenges of acquiring reliable, real-time data at these dimensions.
