At the Winter Conference on Plasma Spectrochemistry, Spectroscopy magazine sat down with John Burgener of Burgener Research Inc. to discuss his career working with mass spectrometers, inductively coupled plasma (ICP), and developing the Burgener nebulizer.
In part 1 of our interview, Burgener discussed the origins of Burgener Research and his experience working with inductively coupled plasma (ICP) instrumentation. Part 2 of our interview with Burgener focused on discussing careers in ICP, and he offered a couple important tips to young people just starting a career in ICP and spectroscopy.
In the final part of our conversation with Burgener, he answers the following questions:
Distinguishing Horsetails Using NIR and Predictive Modeling
February 3rd 2025Spectroscopy sat down with Knut Baumann of the University of Technology Braunschweig to discuss his latest research examining the classification of two closely related horsetail species, Equisetum arvense (field horsetail) and Equisetum palustre (marsh horsetail), using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR).

January 28th 2025The editors of Spectroscopy provide a compilation of talks that spectroscopists should consider attending on Tuesday January 28th during the Photonics West Conference in San Francisco, California.
An Inside Look at the Fundamentals and Principles of Two-Dimensional Correlation Spectroscopy
January 17th 2025Spectroscopy recently sat down with Isao Noda of the University of Delaware and Young Mee Jung of Kangwon National University to talk about the principles of two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy (2D-COS) and its key applications.
