Eighth International Conference on LIBS to be held in Beijing, China
The Eighth International Conference on Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS 2014) will be held at Tsinghua University (Beijing, China) from September 8-12, 2014.
The Eighth International Conference on Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS 2014) will be held at Tsinghua University (Beijing, China) from September 8-12, 2014. The conference is organized by the Chinese LIBS community, hosted by the Department of Thermal Engineering at Tsinghua University and supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China.
As in previous international LIBS conferences, LIBS 2014 will provide a platform for scientists and researchers in the field, engineers from industry, and graduate students to exchange ideas, experiences, and achievements in the research, development, and applications of LIBS.
The conference will feature invited speakers, oral and poster presentations, and a technical exhibition of recent developments in LIBS instruments and related products. LIBS experts from around the world will be invited to deliver short courses before the opening of the conference.
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.
