Monitoring Microplastics in Our Oceans

The agreement gives North American customers a stocked, domestic source for InGaAs PIN photodiodes and avalanche photodiodes from the Scottish manufacturer.

The gap between classroom training and industry practice is pushing analysts toward familiar techniques instead of the most appropriate ones.

Panelists from the Society for Applied Spectroscopy, the Coblentz Society, Syensqo, Specac, and the University of Georgia discuss how a mismatch between academic curricula and industry practice leaves many analysts unsure when, and how, to use infrared and Raman spectroscopy.

Gaps in spectroscopy education are costing companies time and money. What are these gaps and how are they being addressed?

Raman spectroscopy is entering one of its most consequential periods since its commercialization, driven by artificial intelligence, coherent heterodyne detection, and radical instrument miniaturization, with new deep-learning frameworks and portable systems moving Raman analysis into fields, factories, and crime scenes.

In this panel discussion, five SpecAcademy instructors sit down to talk about the main reasons SpecAcademy was started and the current state of spectroscopy education.

Top content published this week include a digital e-book to celebrate National Forensic Science Week, a recap of the top 10 articles published in August 2026, and more.

In this Q&A overview, we explore the derivation of principal component analysis using elementary algebra rather than standard matrix notation.
