Apr 01, 2008; Anonymous ... Scientists at Lund University (Lund, Sweden) have filmed an electron in motion, the first time this has ever been achieved, allowing researchers to study the movements of the particle directly. The scientists devised a method of filming by using short attosecond pulses of ...

Market Profile: MALDI Tandem Mass Spectrometry
Apr 01, 2008; Anonymous ... First developed in the mid-1980s, matrix assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) added a complementary mass spectrometry ionization technique to others that were already on the market, such as electrospray ionization (ESI). The technique was first mated to time-of-flight (TOF) mass ...
Spectroscopy Is Applied Quantum Mechanics, Part III: Introduction to Quantum Mechanics
Apr 01, 2008; Ball, David W ... In Part I of this series (1), I laid the groundwork for why the scientific understanding of nature in the late 19th century was found wanting: it could not explain a variety of phenomena that scientists were examining. (One of these phenomena was spectroscopy itself!) In Part II, I discussed ...

Apr 01, 2008; Anonymous ... In the last installment of this column (December 2007, p. 92), the Rydberg constant was incorrectly stated as 1.09737 × 10^sup -7^. It should be ...
Understanding the Implications of the 2008 GMP Update and Why the Laboratory Is Not Included
Apr 01, 2008; McDowall, R D ... U.S. Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) regulations (21 CFR 211) have existed unchanged since 1978 (1), although in 1996 a draft amendment was issued but was never implemented (2). However, on December 4,2007, the FDA issued a Direct Final Rule for 21 CFR 211 that will make changes to GMP for ...
Innovations in Speciation Analysis Using HPLC with ICP-MS Detection
Apr 01, 2008; Neubauer, Kenneth ... Over the past several years, speciation analysis has grown rapidly and has expanded to a variety of markets, including environmental, clinical, food, nutraceutical, and bioanalytical. This growth has resulted from the realization that knowing the total amount of an element does not always ...
Single-Particle Spectroscopy on Conducting Polymer-Fullerene Composite Materials for Application in Organic Photovoltaic Devices
Apr 01, 2008; Gesquiere, Andre J; Tenery, Daeri; Hu, Zhongjian ... The study of the photophysical and optoelectronic properties of a functioning conducting polymer device is extremely complicated and is hampered by the complex nanostructure and overall morphology of the conducting polymer materials applied in these devices. Here we discuss a novel approach to ...
