The ageless wisdom, “imitation is the sheerest form of flattery,” once again holds true. Unfortunately in quantitative analysis, imitation comes with real consequences.

Spectroscopy lights the path to preventing virus deployment

Using OMNISEC, we will show how to separate the effects of a structural difference induced by a compositional change to a polymer (e.g. substitution) and the structural change induced by polymer chain branching.

Ahead of New Oleans, we offer a little history, editorial program picks, and invite you to the Humanity in Science Award symposium.

Odorant binding proteins could help to unlock new biosensors

Collaboration between the University of Montreal and PerkinElmer shows how the unique capability of single particle inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (SP-ICP-MS) can be used to assess the environmental impact of engineered nanomaterials.

Is the successful marriage of education and research in the challenging era of the financial crisis a reality or utopia?

Could bottlenose dolphin breath analysis help with conservation efforts?

Determination of the common anions, such as bromide, chloride, fluoride, nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, and sulfate, is often needed in water analytics.

Rheology is the science of material flow. It is also a science with a reputation for some fairly daunting mathematics. But look past these first principles and rheology has immediate relevance in formulation which is readily appreciated and easily exploited.
