Spec App of the Month: SGX Sensortech X-ray Transition Energies
The SGX Sensortech X-ray Transition Energies Database app is designed as a tool for X-ray spectroscopy measurements.
APP NAME: SGX Sensortech X-ray Transition Energies Database
OFFERED BY: Periscope Design
PLATFORMS: Android (requires 2.1 and up), iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad (requires iOS 6.0 or later, optimized for iPhone 5).
WHAT IT DOES: The SGX Sensortech X-ray Transition Energies Database app is designed as a tool for X-ray spectroscopy measurements. According to the company, the app allows users to specify a transition energy value in keV and automatically determines displays the elements and “lines” closest to this value. The app also includes a database with general properties for each element.

Scientists Use Water and Light to Uncover Honey Adulteration
July 30th 2025In a 2025 study, Indian researchers demonstrated that combining near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy with aquaphotomics enables rapid, non-destructive detection of adulterants in honey by analyzing changes in water’s spectral behavior. Using chemometric models, they accurately identified and quantified six common adulterants, offering a powerful tool for food authenticity and quality control.
Scientists Use AI and Spectroscopy to Detect Fake Honey in Bangladesh
July 29th 2025Researchers in Bangladesh have developed a rapid, non-destructive method to detect honey adulteration using UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy paired with machine learning. Their findings could protect consumers and support food quality enforcement.
