Advancing Trace-Element Speciation in the Environment, Food, and Biota
Prof. Jörg Feldmann of the University of Aberdeen, in Scotland, has been advancing speciation methods for more than 20 years, and is currently using these methods to address a range of questions, such as which cultivars of rice can best resist taking up arsenic into the rice grain, and how metalloproteins and metallolipids are transported in fish. Feldman won the 2015 European Award for Plasma Spectrochemistry for this work, and he recently talked to us about it. |

LIBS Detection of Nanomaterials for Process Control and in the Workplace
Nanostructured materials are expected to lead to the emergence of new products with enhanced functionalities. Their manufacture often requires the use of particles referred to as nano-objects, their aggregates, and their agglomerates. Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) was deemed as a potential candidate for the detection of these materials in various contexts. This article discusses examples of the application of LIBS for workplace surveillance and process control of nano-objects. |
