Measurement of Chromium on Aluminum

Heavy metals in soil remains one of the most pressing issues in environmental conservation efforts. According to the authors of a new study, laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) can contribute to the solution.

Scientists from the University of Calgary and the Mayo Clinic seeking ways to better understand metal processing in children with Autism.

This year’s Emerging Leader in Atomic Spectroscopy Award recipient is Eduardo Bolea-Fernández. For the past decade, Bolea-Fernández’s research has focused on the development of a newly introduced technique, termed tandem ICP-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS/MS), for ultra-trace elemental and isotopic analysis. Senior technical editor Jerome Workman discusses Bolea-Fernández’s work here.

Studying historical ancient artifacts requires the use of a nondestructive technique to analyze the metal surfaces of these objects. This study presents two approaches that improves on existing methods when conducting alloy analysis.
