A new spectroelectrochemical approach integrates UV/vis absorption, photoluminescence, and Raman spectroscopy to provide simultaneous signals for richer chemical analysis in one experiment.

Researchers at IOCB Prague developed a simple and universal late-stage iodine-125 labeling method for peptides and proteins, enabling faster, cheaper, and high-quality production for drug discovery.

Gold–silver nanoclusters with fixed Au:Ag ratio were matured under different conditions. Fluorescence and synergism varied, with optimum at 37 °C, 2.5 h, and quenching by Cu(II)/Fe(III) was evaluated.

Brazilian stingless bee honey was analyzed via FT-MIR, NMR, and GC–MS. Chemometrics revealed species differences and correlations between phenolics and antioxidant capacity.

ATR-FTIR microspectroscopy with multivariate analysis differentiates Saccharomyces strains by autolytic behavior, detecting mannans and glucan changes relevant for wine fermentation.

Fourier-transform NIR and volatilome-based HS-GC–IMS/MS methods fingerprint peach ripening stages, allowing PCA and PLS-DA models to differentiate ripeness and variety for optimal harvest.

A rapid FTIR method was developed to measure hydrogen isotope ratios in water. Using molecular bending vibrations, it achieved ~0.5% sensitivity and ~1% deviation, proving reliable for H2O/D2O mixtures.

Tereza Havlíková from CEITEC BUT won the Brno PhD Talent for research on transparent ceramics with unique optical properties for lasers, LEDs, and scintillators.

Two green methods for preparing NADES and AADES were developed and characterized. They showed tunable properties, effective metal extraction (As, Cd, Pb) from plants, and excellent EcoScale scores.

A novel LA-ICP-MS method uses upconversion nanoparticles to precisely measure transport efficiency, assessing effects of ablation wavelength, fluence, and cell design on accuracy.
