The presence of lead in blood is the most incontrovertible evidence of absorption but hitherto the need for venepuncture has limited its determination in the supervision of industrial workers.

Associate Professor Kenta Amemiya of the Institute of Materials Structure Science at the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) and colleagues have developed in collaboration with a group ...

Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) is a technique that deals with the absorption of electromagnetic radiation of free gaseous atoms at a specific wavelength. AAS allows the measurement of extremely ...

A gap-controlled infrared technique makes it possible to study molecular interfaces with high sensitivity using affordable, ...

Flame Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (FAAS) is a very popular analytical technique that has been employed by researchers for the elemental analysis of trace metals in a variety of samples. How does it ...

A novel spectroscopic method developed at Institute of Science Tokyo, Japan, enables highly sensitive analysis of molecules at material interfaces, using a combination of conventional ATR-IR, precise ...

Allergies are the most common cause of asthma. The immune system over-reacts to harmless substances such as birch or grass pollen, for example, forming immunoglobulin E antibodies (IgE). Together with ...

Acoustic absorption is a fundamental parameter in the evaluation and optimisation of noise control within various environments. Recent advances have improved our ability to characterise how materials ...

Differential Absorption Lidar (DIAL) has emerged as a pivotal tool in the remote sensing of atmospheric constituents. This technique exploits the difference in absorption at selected wavelengths to ...
