Spectroscopy sat down with Renee Romano, a graduate student at The Ohio State University, to discuss the broader implications of her findings, including how they demonstrate the potential of Raman spectroscopy for in situ, real-time monitoring of plant–microbe interactions without destructive sampling.

In this exclusive interview, Nishadi Nadeeshani Moragoda Liyanage, a graduate student at The Ohio State University, outlines how the results of her study help advance our understanding of plasmon-induced electron transfer and its applications in nanoscale optoelectronic and catalytic systems.

As part of our coverage of the SciX Conference, Spectroscopy sat down with Witte, a graduate student at The Ohio State University, to talk about how machine learning (ML) algorithms can differentiate between spectral features associated with radiation dose and those reflecting temporal changes post-exposure, as well as the benefits of using Raman spectroscopy to detect and quantify radiation-induced molecular changes.

At SciX, Zac Schultz of The Ohio State University sat down with Spectroscopy to discuss his work characterizing molecular interactions with localization microscopy techniques, as well as give his thoughts about how spectrally resolved surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) imaging will impact in vitro cell imaging and other application areas.

As part of our coverage of Analytica USA, Spectroscopy sat down with Ian Ciesniewski, technical director at Mettler Toledo, to discuss the latest changes made to the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) Chapters 41 and 1251. In this interview segment, Ciesniewski discusses how the recent changes to these two chapters will impact organizations.

Besides the technical program, which encompasses plenary talks, poster sessions, short courses, and many contributed oral presentations, SciX also has several social events for attendees to enjoy in the evenings during the conference week. We highlight these social events here.

In the final part of our conversation with Leonardos “Leo” Gkouvelis, we discussed what happens when opposition effects are ignored when studying exoplanets and how it impacts our understanding of their surface composition.

A new review article published in Applied Spectroscopy Reviews highlights how visible–near infrared (Vis-NIR) spectroscopy could improve the way scientists detect and monitor potentially toxic trace elements (PTEs) in soil and sediments.

In a continuation of our conversation with Leonardos “Leo” Gkouvelis, who is in the Faculty of Physics at Ludwig Maximilian University (Munich, Germany), we discussed the phenomenon of shadow hiding and coherent back scattering in astronomy, particularly in the context of observing celestial bodies like the moon and exoplanets.

In this interview segment, Leo Gkouvelis of Ludwig Maximilian University discusses the opposition surge effect and how his study explored a new method for modeling the opposition surge effect in studying exoplanets.
