Technology

Raman spectroscopy has multifaceted appeal but requires an additional metrological dimension to make it a truly competitive quantitative technology.

A broad-based and ongoing scientific education is essential to the success of the research enterprise. We risk losing it.

Could a DNA-savvy clean-tech startup disrupt the water analysis market?

As instrumentation becomes ever more sophisticated, the connection between the analytical question being asked and the answer provided is steadily eroding.

Could – and should – analytical science be more environmentally friendly?

Gamers are better at identifying certain patterns than computer algorithms, so why not use them to pick out breast cancer-related gene profiles?

How we can best provide state-of-the-art proteomics technology to the biomedical community.

How we go about the systematic study of the unique chemical fingerprints that specific cellular processes leave behind – and what we can learn from them.

In the face of increasing competition, standing out from the crowd requires more than good science. We must embrace self-marketing.

Common data file formats are readily available for mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) data. Now, the community must agree on an extensible cross-platform software solution that everyone can use.
