World's First Fingerprint of Urban Emissions
Researchers used a a newly designed proton-transfer-reaction quadrupole interface time-of-flight mass spectrometer to present the world's first chemical fingerprint of urban emission sources of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Accordingly, the abatement strategy for organic solvents is having an effect in Europe. At the same time, the data suggest that the total amount of man-made VOCs globally is likely to be significantly higher than previously assumed.

Multi-pronged Analysis Uncovers How Microbes Survive in Phosphorus-Poor Environments
A team has uncovered how certain soil microbes cope in a phosphorus-poor environment to survive in a tropical ecosystem. They used deep sequencing, mass spectrometry and metaproteomics to identify more than 7,000 proteins in each sample. Their novel approach could be applied in other ecosystems to study various nutrient limitations and inform agriculture and terrestrial biosphere modeling.

Shining Light on Laser Advances
Chiral nematic liquid crystals (CLCs) are an emerging class of lasing devices that are poised to shape how lasers are used in the future because of their low thresholds, ease of fabrication, and ability to be tuned across wider swaths of the electromagnetic spectrum. New work on how to select band-edge modes in these devices, which determine the lasing energy, may shine light on how lasers of the future will be tuned.
