Stone samples brought back to Earth from asteroid Ryugu have had their elemental composition analyzed using an artificially generated muon beam from the particle accelerator in J-PARC. Researchers ...

Elemental analysis techniques are essential in mining, influencing key decisions and ensuring adherence to quality standards throughout the value chain.

Inductively coupled plasma (ICP) analysis is among the most commonly used tools, yet it is not always the best method. This is because sample digestion and frequent calibration are necessary ...

Gems' unique elemental composition and atomic orientation act as a fingerprint, enabling researchers to uncover the stones' past, and with it, historical trade routes. Scientists now employ three ...

The bulk elemental composition of Earth can’t be fully explained by compositional differences in its initial building blocks, according to a new study by Paul Frossard and colleagues. Instead, they ...

Cryo-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) allows us to observe samples in a preserved state that is close to their native form, making it a highly effective way to examine biological samples.

Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) is prominently used for analyzing elemental composition in individual cells. However, the conventional sample introduction system of ICP-MS causes ...

Elemental analysis plays a crucial role in the pharmaceutical industry, allowing scientists to understand a material or compound’s elemental composition. It also provides key information on any ...
