Nominations for the 2020 Norman Sheppard Award are invited.
Intabio has signed a co-marketing agreement with Agilent Technologies to support development of an integrated iCIEF-MS assay.
Bruker has announced a collaboration with Utrecht University to advance the study of the 3-D structures and interactions of proteins by crosslinking mass spectrometry.
SAMDI mass spectrometry is being used with a “live cell analysis device” to allow cells to be sampled over time, offering a window to responses that evolve.
Fluorescence spectroscopy of biomarkers in urine can track malignant melanoma progression or treatment response.
Synchrotron infrared nanospectroscopy has been used for the first time to measure biomolecular changes induced by a drug (amiodarone) within human cells (macrophages) and localised at 100 nm scale, i.e. two orders of magnitude smaller than the IR wavelength used as probe.
NIR reflectance spectral maps of heart tissue can distinguish between fat and muscle tissue in the heart and could help improve delivery and monitoring of ablation therapy.
Researchers from the Nanooptics Group at CIC nanoGUNE (San Sebastian, Spain) have shown that nanoscale infrared imaging can analyse materials up to 100 nm below the surface.
By coinciding the sampling phase with the 2016 Australian Census, researchers were able to correlate the socioeconomic characteristics of Australian communities with sewage composition.
A simple way to make circular polarised VUV light has been developed by scientists at the University of Tokyo.
Protein–protein interactions can be probed with a combined approach of affinity purification-mass spectrometry and proximity-dependent biotin identification.
Bruker is supporting the international Covid19-NMR Consortium for structure–function and inhibitor binding investigations of SARS-CoV-2 RNA and proteins.
International team of scientists has proposed plans for a high-intensity gamma radiation source at CERN.
A research programme is investigating the prognostic value of skin findings associated with COVID-19 infection using a portable hyperspectral imaging system.
A NASA grant will help us to better understand how plant pathogens that travel the globe with dust particles might put crops at risk using imaging spectroscopy.
New atomic spectroscopy analyses reveal the origin of Stonehenge’s giant sarsen stones as West Woods on the edge of Wiltshire’s Marlborough Downs, about 15 miles to the north.
Multispectral and thermal infrared cameras are being used on planes and drones to find mains water leaks.
Models based on spectral images from unmanned aerial vehicles and satellites can help farmers to monitor the health of individual macadamia trees.
Researchers have integrated a photo-patterned liquid crystal into a dielectric metasurface to achieve achromatic and chromatic focusing with a single metalens.
Pfeiffer Vacuum is celebrating its 130 years in business. The company introduced the turbomolecular pump in 1958.
