Mid-infrared Microspectroscopy of Difficult Samples Using Near-Field Photothermal Microspectroscopy (PDF)

In a recent study out of China, Liyi Zhou and her fellow scientists created a nanoprodrug system to help treat liver cancer.

An interview with Charles Wilkins, the winner of the 2013 American Chemical Society Division of Analytical Chemistry Award in Chemical Instrumentation, sponsored by the Dow Chemical Company.

In this article, tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) is used to measure ammonia leakage, where a new denoising method combining empirical mode decomposition with the Savitzky-Golay smoothing algorithm (EMD-SG) is proposed to improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of absorbance signals.

Bernhard Lendl and Cosima Koch of the Vienna University of Technology have developed a new method for on-line monitoring of fermentations using mid-infrared spectroscopy.

Scientists in Poland recently tested how multidimensional discriminant analysis and reflectance spectroscopy can help identify species within fungi strains.

Here are the top five articles that the editors of Spectroscopy published this week.
