A project at Rice University has developed a new machine learning (ML) algorithm intended to improve the identification of biomarkers in optical spectra. As reported in ACS Nano, the algorithm could ...

Pyroxenes are a major group of rock-forming silicate minerals that generally contain calcium, magnesium, and iron. Given their abundance, elucidating the physical properties of pyroxenes is deemed ...

Every rock on Earth is a time capsule, holding traces of our planet from when the minerals first formed. Consider a smidge of 164-million-year-old clay, says M. Joseph Pasterski, an organic geochemist ...

Successful interpretation of infrared spectra isn’t about memorizing peak positions, it’s about pattern recognition! Join Brian Smith of Big Sur Scientific as he discusses the fundamentals of infrared ...

A proteomics data pipeline transforms raw mass spectrometry (MS) spectra into biologically interpretable protein-level measurements. As MS-based proteomics datasets continue to increase in size and ...

The modification of surfaces to influence subsequent molecular interactions represents a powerful technique, with researchers often adding functional groups that specific molecules can bind to in ...
