Physically realistic models of stellar spectra are needed in a variety of astronomical studies, from the analysis of fundamental stellar parameters, to studies of exoplanets and stellar populations in galaxies. Here we present a new version of the widely-used radiative transfer code Turbospectrum, which we update with the capacity to perform spectrum synthesis for lines of multiple chemical elements in Non-Local Thermodynamic Equilibrium (NLTE). We use the code in the analysis of metallicites and abundances of the Gaia FGK benchmark stars, using one-dimensional MARCS atmospheric models and the averages of 3D radiation-hydrodynamics simulations of stellar surface convection. We show that the new more physically realistic models offer a better description of the observed data and make the program and the associated microphysics data publicly available, including grids of NLTE departure coefficients for H, O, Na, Mg, Si, Ca, Ti, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Sr, and Ba.

Evidence for elemental diffusion in the eclipsing binary star AI Phoenicis
In the eclipsing binary AI Phe, the hotter component is depleted in Fe and Mg relative to its cooler subgiant companion by about 0.1 dex, matching the atomic-diffusion signature seen in the open cluster M67.

3D Non-LTE radiation transfer: theory and applications to stars, exoplanets, and kilonovae
A field review of 3D non-LTE radiative transfer argues that 1D LTE treatments of stellar, exoplanet, and kilonova spectra carry systematic abundance biases that 3D NLTE modeling can now remove.
