Raman-based Advanced Process Control in Upstream Bioprocessing for Parameters Beyond Glucose

The 2026 first edition of Spectroscopy's Chemometrics, Data Processing, Machine Learning, and Artificial Intelligence Terminology Guide defines the classical chemometric, statistical, machine learning, AI, and process analytical technology (PAT) terms most likely to be encountered by working spectroscopists, analytical chemists, and process engineers.

Does industry need to get more involved in training the next generation of spectroscopists?

In an interview at SciX, Alessandro De Giacomo discusses nanoparticles as signal enhancers and medical tags, a self-calibrating drone LIBS system, open questions in laser–matter interaction, and why students need a strong foundation in fundamentals.

The New York / New Jersey Section of the Society for Applied Spectroscopy will present its 2026 Gold Medal Award to Richard Crocombe at the Eastern Analytical Symposium on November 17, recognizing two decades of work that helped carry spectroscopy out of the laboratory and into the field.

Near-infrared spectroscopy combined with principal components analysis and a back propagation neural network identified Huanglongbing-infected Gannan navel orange leaves with an overall accuracy of 98.75%, outperforming LDA, KNN, and SVM models.

Top articles include an examination of the current trends propelling atomic spectroscopy forward and post-conference coverage of the 2026 SciX show in Sparks, Nevada.

In this Q&A, we recap the October edition of “What’s Nu,” which covered topics such as how novel spectroscopic and analytical methods are transforming environmental monitoring, medical treatment, and accessibility in scientific research.

In this Q&A article, we highlight several prominent researchers being recognized at the 2026 SciX Conference for their significant contributions to spectroscopy and photonics and discuss what these researchers talked about at the conference.
