A new algorithm allows real-time reconstruction of images that combine optical spectral and magnetic resonance imaging data.

A proof-of-concept FT-IR-based saliva COVID-19 testing workflow has investigated the pathophysiological response to a COVID-19 infection through ATR-FT-IR spectroscopy.

Researchers from the University of Warsaw have built the first quantum processor in Poland and are putting it to use in spectroscopy. They’ve demonstrated how quantum information processing can efficiently provide information on matter hidden in light.

fNIRS can determine impairment from cannabis intoxication and could be used as a “breathalyser” on drivers.

A research group at Eindhoven University of Technology has developed a new NIR sensor that is easy to make, comparable in size to sensors in smartphones and ready for immediate use in industrial process monitoring and agriculture.

KPM Analytics has acquired Bruins Instruments, a manufacturer of high-resolution near infrared reflectance and transmission analysers.

The fusion reflectance and transmission NIR spectra can improve predictions of the three main components of rice flour.

Quantum mechanically entangled light particles allow a glimpse into previously invisible wavelength ranges, thus bringing about new possibilities for imaging techniques, microscopy and spectroscopy.

The First Student meeting of the Coblentz Society and NE & NY Society for Applied Spectroscopy (SAS) Sections invites submissions from PhD students from across the world working in all fields of vibrational spectroscopy.

University of Adelaide scientists have developed a new mid-infrared spectroscopy method to detect and measure very low concentrations of agricultural lime in soils.

The first demonstration of direct fs-pulse emission from a quantum cascade laser in the mid-infrared region paves the path towards novel applications of ultrashort laser pulses.

NIR spectroscopy is used to monitor the drying of coated apple chips in an investigation to encourage their consumption by children.

The 2021 winner of the Karl Norris Award of the International Council for Near Infrared Spectroscopy is Professor Yukihiro Ozaki.

FT-IR spectroscopy and tandem mass spectrometry have identified human blood and bird egg proteins in red paint covering a 1000-year-old gold mask from Peru.

Researchers at Empa in Switzerland have developed a simple device to visualise SWIR radiation.
