What's really floating between the stars? 🌃

In this video, Pavithraa Sundararajan of NASA's Ames Research Center breaks down the chemical makeup of the interstellar medium, from simple molecules like carbon monoxide and methane to complex polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and explains how infrared spectroscopy helps astronomers detect them.

Curious how IR astronomy is helping solve a century-old cosmic puzzle? Catch the full conversation in the comments.

Lipstick left at a crime scene can now help tell the story. 💄

Researchers at Curtin University built the first forensic database of Indonesian lipstick products using FT-IR spectroscopy, correctly identifying individual products with up to 86.5% accuracy.

Could everyday cosmetics become the next big clue in forensic science? Find out more in the comments 👇

You learned the instrument on the job. That covers the routine work. It is the odd result that exposes what nobody ever taught you.

SpecAcademy is built with the Society for Applied Spectroscopy, the The Coblentz Society, and the International Atomic Spectrometry Association (IASA), so the training holds up. On demand, self paced, certificate at the end.

Alicia Bigica, VP of Content, lays out the three signs it is time to go back and fill in the fundamentals.

Sample repacking doesn't always distort your spectra in just one direction, so what happens when it doesn't?

In the latest Chemometrics in Spectroscopy column, Howard Mark & Jerome Workman, Jr. combine their Lagrangian repack-correction algorithm with Gallagher & Watson's clutter suppression framework, whitening calibration spectra to handle multiple directions of diffuse-reflection variability at once, no matter if you're using MLR, PCR & PLS.

Ever wonder what astrochemistry & nanomaterials research have in common?

At ISMS 2026, Miguel Sanz-Novo dug into complex organic molecules forming in star-forming regions, while Minjung Son showed how ultrafast spectroscopy is helping design nanomaterials instead of just discovering them by trial & error.

From outer space to the nanoscale, spectroscopy is covering a lot of ground. Which side are you more curious about? 🎥

Can a handheld scanner really tell if a bone is human, right on site?

Researchers paired portable near-infrared spectroscopy with an artificial neural network & reached 96.3% accuracy classifying human vs. animal bone across 225 samples, all without the destructive prep older methods require.

Two suspect vehicles, one hit-and-run, & paint that looked identical to the naked eye.

By combining FT-IR, portable Raman & SEM-EDS, researchers broke down the three-layer paint structure from the scene & both suspect vehicles, pinpointing a chemical difference in the third layer that ruled one vehicle out completely.
