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.

Scientists have made a remarkable breakthrough in the field of paleontology by developing a technique that uses ...

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 ...

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 ...

Understanding the properties of different materials is an important step in material design. X-ray absorption spectroscopy ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
