Adam Gilmore, of Horiba Scientific’s Piscataway, New Jersey office, shared the 2022 Japanese Photochemistry Association Technical Award for Fluorescence Instrumentation with Kiyoaki Hara of Horiba STEC, and Yuichi Kitagawa of Horiba Techno Service’s Analytical and Testing Technology Department.
The award was present at the annual meeting on Photochemistry 2022 at Kyoto University (Kyoto, Japan) for their “Development of Ultra-Sensitive Modular Fluorescence Spectrometer with Time-Resolved Function and its Applications.”
The Japanese Photochemistry Association, established in 1976, is an academic society, with more than 1,000 individual members and 43 supporting members, that conducts basic research and a wide range of applied technologies in the fields of photochemistry and phototechnology.
The Photochemistry Society of Japan's Technology Award is presented to individuals who have made outstanding achievements in the development or industrialization of photochemistry-applied technologies, and who have been recommended by other members or directors. This year's Technology Award was recommended by Professor Naoto Tamai of the Faculty of Science and Technology at Kwansei Gakuin University, in Japan.
Scientists Unveil Better Mixing Rule for Absorption Spectroscopy of Aerosols and Colloids
June 16th 2025Researchers have introduced a simple yet powerful new rule based on Rayleigh scattering theory that accurately links the absorption behavior of composite media, like aerosols or colloids, to the properties of their nanoparticle constituents.
Short Tutorial: Complex-Valued Chemometrics for Composition Analysis
June 16th 2025In this tutorial, Thomas G. Mayerhöfer and Jürgen Popp introduce complex-valued chemometrics as a more physically grounded alternative to traditional intensity-based spectroscopy measurement methods. By incorporating both the real and imaginary parts of the complex refractive index of a sample, this approach preserves phase information and improves linearity with sample analyte concentration. The result is more robust and interpretable multivariate models, especially in systems affected by nonlinear effects or strong solvent and analyte interactions.
