What Will Be the Next Generation of Analytical Tools for Atomic-scale Electrochemistry?

Leaders Prion diseases: what will be next?

In recent history there is probably no group of disease that has caused more surprises or shocks than the group of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, or prion diseases as they have become known. Grouped together on the basis of their neuropathology, showing vacuolation of the neuropil or neurones, or both (spongiform change) (fig 1), they present a variable clinical picture; nevertheles...

Will the next generation of "safer" cigarettes be safer?

There are three basic means of avoiding smoking-related diseases: never starting to smoke, quitting, and avoiding smoke-filled environments. Recently, a fourth possibility has emerged: use of new, ostensibly less toxic products by smokers who cannot or will not quit, including "reduced toxin" cigarettes and novel smokeless tobacco products. To their purveyors, these new "tobacco harm reduction"...

Analytical advantages of using electrochemistry for atomic spectrometry*

Atomic spectrometry and electrochemistry are usually recognized as independent analytical tools used for different purposes. Here, a brief review is given of the advantages of using electrochemistry in the various fields of atomic spectrometry techniques. In the first part, the application of electrochemical preconcentration before the atomic spectrometry will be addressed and exemplified. Elec...
