Top articles published this week include an interview about drug detection techniques with Robert Ewing of the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, a feature about how funding cuts are impacting analytical chemists, and a compilation of articles about how Raman spectroscopy is being used in cancer diagnostics.

An interview with Paul Pudney, a winner of the William F. Meggers Award.

Irish researchers have developed a lightning-fast, label-free spectroscopic imaging method capable of classifying immune cells in just 5 milliseconds. Their work with broadband coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (BCARS) pushes the boundaries of cellular analysis, potentially transforming diagnostics and flow cytometry.

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.

Researchers at the University of Belgrade have demonstrated that combining Raman and FT-IR spectroscopy with machine learning algorithms offers a highly accurate, non-destructive method for identifying seed varieties in lettuce, paprika, and tomato.

A compilation of articles that explore the role of Raman spectroscopy in cancer research is presented.
