Mapping Oxidation in Fractured Knee Implant Posts with FT-IR Imaging
As part of our coverage of the SciX 2026 Conference, Nancy Pleshko and Petra Baylin of Temple University sat down with Spectroscopy to talk about their recent study, explaining how Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) imaging of ultra-high weight molecular polyethylene (UHMWPE) implants permits oxidation evaluation throughout the sample yielding insight into failure.

Infrared Reimagined: How FT-IR Spectroscopy Learned to Read Molecules, Diagnose Disease, and See Below the Diffraction Limit
FT-IR spectroscopy, long treated as a mature bench technique for confirming a carbonyl stretch or fingerprinting a polymer, has quietly become one of chemistry’s most versatile discovery engines: it now infers molecular structure straight from a spectrum without a reference library, resolves chemistry tens of nanometers wide, and screens a fingerstick of blood for disease in minutes. The last five years of published research show FT-IR moving from a confirmatory tool into a predictive, autonomous, and field-ready analytical platform.

SciX 2026 in Sparks: Raman Moves Toward the Clinic, Chemometrics Revisits Its Foundations
SciX 2026, the annual conference presented by the Federation of Analytical Chemistry and Spectroscopy Societies (FACSS), ran October 4–9, 2026, at the Nugget Casino Resort in Sparks, Nevada. The program spanned atomic and molecular spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, chemometrics, and bioanalysis. This report follows the meeting day by day, from Monday's clinical Raman plenaries to Friday's closing talks, drawing on the online program and Spectroscopy coverage of award winners, highlighting efforts to move Raman, SERS, LIBS, and single-particle ICP-MS toward clinical, environmental, and field use.

Drones, Haptic Gloves, and Sound-Driven Nanomachines: Is Spectroscopy Outgrowing the Laboratory?
Four finalists for the FACSS Innovation Award presented on the afternoon of October 8, 2026, at SciX 2026. Their work spanned drone-mounted laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), a touch-and-sound virtual reality system for blind scientists, polarized infrared (IR) imaging of shape memory polymers, and an ultrasound-activated plasmonic nanoplatform aimed at Parkinson’s disease.

Out of the Lab and Into the Wild: Is Spectroscopy Finally Ready for the Real World?
Wednesday's program at SciX 2026 kept returning to one question: can spectroscopy perform outside the controlled laboratory? Speakers took surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), mid-infrared photonics, chemometrics, and fluorescence excitation–emission matrix (EEM) spectroscopy into clinics, food plants, reactor coolant loops, brine fields, and drinking water supplies.

Light That Thinks: How Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Learned to See Inside Bodies, Bioreactors, and the Biosphere
Near-infrared spectroscopy has quietly stopped being a niche calibration exercise and started acting like an autonomous diagnostic partner, reading consciousness in an injured brain, steering a fermenter without a human hand, and hunting invisible plastic in a glass of water. The tool chemists once used to check moisture in grain is now fusing with artificial intelligence to make decisions no spectrometer could make alone.
