Take a look below at some wonderful HOT articles we’ve recently published this month in JAAS. There are papers covering a large variety of fields, including analysis of meteorites, archaeometry, isotope dilution mass spectrometry and Rembrandt oil paintings! These HOT papers will be free to read for two weeks.
