The Coblentz Society and the Society of Applied Spectroscopy are co-hosting a Speed Mentoring event at SciX, at the Palm Springs Convention Center in California, on Monday, October 14. The event promises to be fun and fast-paced, where prospective mentors and mentees will have the opportunity to meet one-on-one with other scientists, expand their professional networks, and potentially form a mentoring relationship.
The Speed Mentoring event will take place from 11:45–1:30 pm in the San Jacinto room at the Renaissance Hotel. Lunch will be provided for those who pre-register.

Scientists Unveil Better Mixing Rule for Absorption Spectroscopy of Aerosols and Colloids
June 16th 2025Researchers have introduced a simple yet powerful new rule based on Rayleigh scattering theory that accurately links the absorption behavior of composite media, like aerosols or colloids, to the properties of their nanoparticle constituents.
Short Tutorial: Complex-Valued Chemometrics for Composition Analysis
June 16th 2025In this tutorial, Thomas G. Mayerhöfer and Jürgen Popp introduce complex-valued chemometrics as a more physically grounded alternative to traditional intensity-based spectroscopy measurement methods. By incorporating both the real and imaginary parts of the complex refractive index of a sample, this approach preserves phase information and improves linearity with sample analyte concentration. The result is more robust and interpretable multivariate models, especially in systems affected by nonlinear effects or strong solvent and analyte interactions.
