New Trends in ICP-MS: On the Way from Single Cell to Single Protein Detection
Inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is already often applied to single-cell analysis in various applications. For this purpose, a time-gated detection mode with short integration times is used, an approach that is used in the well-established single particle mode for detection of single metallic nanoparticles.

A Spectroscopic Revolution in the Agricultural World
Several years ago, our group showed that Raman spectroscopy is capable of confirmatory diagnostics of fungal disease in corn, wheat, and sorghum. We found that this approach has 100% accuracy and species sensitivity in pathogen diagnostics. Recently, we developed the use of Raman spectroscopy for detection and identification of Huanglongbing (HLB), a devastating disease that destroys citrus trees in Texas and Florida.

Far-Ultraviolet Spectroscopy
We introduced an attenuated total reflectance (ATR) technique to the FUV region 12 years ago. The ATR-FUV method has made it possible to investigate electronic states of almost all types of molecules in the condensed phase. Recently, ATR-FUV spectroscopy has been applied extensively to a wide area of research fields including physical chemistry, analytical chemistry, solution chemistry, electrochemistry, materials sciences, nanoscience and technology, and industrial applications.
