HOT articles in Issue 5

Formation and aggregation of silver nanoparticles in acoustically levitated droplets were investigated by simultaneous UV/Vis and Raman spectroscopy measurements.

Schenk et al., Anal. Methods, 2012, 4, 1252-1258

Have you seen the HOT papers in the latest issue of Analytical Methods?  Some of the interesting applications featured include analysing works of art, detection of bromate in drinking water, and extracting arsenic from rice.

There’s also a paper from Editorial Board member Ulrich Panne and colleagues (right) on the formation and aggregation of silver nanoparticles in acoustically levitated droplets investigated by simultaneous UV/Vis and Raman spectroscopy.

All these HOT papers will be free to access until 22 May.
