Journal Highlight: The survival of gunshot residues in cremated bone: An inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry study
spectroscopyNOW
Aug 5, 2013
ICP-OES analysis of gunshot residues in cremated bone is very sensitive and reliable and can be an appropriate nondestructive method for detecting residues on difficult and delicate substrates.
Laser spectroscopy has been used by scientists at CERN and Mainz to investigate the nature of the rare and artificially produced radioactive element astatine for the first time.
Journal Highlight: Waste glass, vessels and window-panes from Thamusida (Morocco): Grouping natron-based blue-green and colourless Roman glasses
spectroscopyNOW
Jul 2, 2013
A collection of window-panes, vessels and alleged waste from Thamusida has been characterised by several techniques and compared with naturally coloured and colourless glasses of both Roman and later ages.

While even the best analytical techniques cannot rectify problems generated by sloppy sample preparation, this less "sexy" step between the point at which analytes are transferred from the sample matrix to a form suitable for analysis is often overlooked. Read a free chapter from "Sample Preparation Techniques in Analytical Chemistry " here.
See how you can determine the emission spectra of hydrogen and other elements with a diffraction grating, a meterstick, and a little trigonometry.
Professor Tony Mallet of the University of Greenwich presents an essay on elemental compositions from 'accurate mass' determinations.
