Spark spectrometry: Truly destructive—or just a preconception?
Spark spectrometry has been an established method for the chemical analysis of metallic materials for decades, but still has a critical reputation today. The reason for this is the burn mark that appears on the metal surface during analysis. In the following, we take a closer look at the burn mark and evaluate if visible traces are automatically synonymous with relevant material damage, to answer the question if spark spectrometry can be considered a destructive technique or not.

Verifying origin with stable isotopes in a time of global regulatory change
The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), forced labour prevention measures and a wave of due diligence laws are shifting the burden of proof in origin verification: importers, producers and brands must now demonstrate, not just declare, where products come from. In this article we speak to World Forest ID about their global reference database for source verification.

How stable isotope analysis of soil processes informs strategies for climate change: an interview with Prof. Liz Baggs
Understanding and quantifying the processes taking place in our soils can provide insights to guide new strategies for addressing and adapting to climate change. With stable isotope analysis, it is possible to measure tiny differences in the microbiological processes in the soil around plants (known as their rhizosphere).
