Global Model Estimates of Atmospheric Al, Ca, Fe, Si, and Ti From Dust and Non‐Dust Aerosols Informed by EMIT Surface Mineralogy and Evaluated Against Observations

open access: yesGlobal Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 40, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Atmospheric deposition of micro‐nutrients like Fe has been shown to be important for ocean biogeochemistry. The largest source of atmospheric Fe and other elements (e.g., Ca, Al, Si, and Ti) is desert dust, although there are significant non‐dust sources in some regions (e.g., combustion, sea salts, volcanoes). However, past estimates of these

APPLICATION OF MICRO-PIXE ANALYSIS TO INVESTIGATE TRACE ELEMENTS IN DECIDUOUS TEETH ENAMEL

open access: yes, 2010
The early life environment has widespread consequences for later health and disease. To prevent the disease in later life, the assessment of fetal environment is very important. In Japan, birthweight has fallen rapidly during recent two decades.

X‐ray Fluorescence Microscopy Computed Tomography Reveals Internal Distribution of Selenium in Hyperaccumulator Plant Seeds

open access: yesEcological Research, Volume 41, Issue 3, May 2026.
Selenium hyperaccumulators are plants able to accumulate over 1000 mg/kg in their shoots while growing in their natural environments. The distribution of selenium in the seeds of the three key hyperaccumulating species was elucidated using X‐ray fluorescence microscopy computed tomography (XFM‐CT). ABSTRACT Selenium hyperaccumulators are plants able to

Combined micro-PIXE and NIR Raman spectroscopic plaque characterisation in a human atherosclerotic aorta sample

open access: yes, 2001
Raman spectroscopy can be applied to characterise the chemical composition of an atherosclerotic plaque in vivo. In the near future this technique may become available for use in (coronary) arteries of living patients. For this moment, Raman spectroscopy

XRF, PIXE and SR-XRF studies on prehistoric gold provenance

open access: yesUISPP Journal, 2019
One of the most efficient methods to authenticate ancient gold artifacts and find their provenance is to identify trace elements – Sn, Sb, Te, PGA (especially Pt, Ir-Os, Pd), considered as “fingerprints” of a geological source, as ancient metallurgy ...

A Mineralogical Context for the Organic Matter in the Paris Meteorite Determined by A Multi-Technique Analysis

open access: yesLife, 2019
This study is a multi-technique investigation of the Paris carbonaceous chondrite directly applied on two selected 500 × 500 µm² areas of a millimetric fragment, without any chemical extraction.

Influence of Root‐Applied Glutathione on Nickel Uptake and Distribution in Brassica Roots

open access: yesEcological Research, Volume 41, Issue 3, May 2026.
This study indicates that exogenous glutathione (GSH) applied to the roots inhibits nickel (Ni) uptake and its translocation to the shoots in hydroponically grown Brassica napus. Micro‐PIXE imaging further revealed that GSH reduces Ni accumulation near the stele, indicating inhibition of Ni radial transport toward the vascular tissues.

Rapid Arbitrary‐Shape Microscopy of Unsectioned Tissues for Precise Intraoperative Tumor Margin Assessment

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, 9 February 2026.
This study presents a novel microscopic imaging system capable of rapid, section‐free scanning of irregular tissue surfaces, delivering high sensitivity for detecting cancer cell clusters during intraoperative tumor margin assessment. Abstract Rapid and accurate intraoperative examination of tumor margins is crucial for precise surgical treatment, yet ...

A mineralogical application of micro-PIXE technique: Yttrium zoning in garnet from metamorphic rocks and its petrologic meaning.

open access: yes, 2002
Micro-PIXE has been applied to a specific petrologic problem particularly affected by the limitation of other techniques. Selected garnet crystals from metapelitic rock samples equilibrated under high pressure low temperature metamorphic conditions ...

Direct Dating and Physico-Chemical Analyses Cast Doubts on the Coexistence of Humans and Dwarf Hippos in Cyprus.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
In the Mediterranean, the island dwarf megafaunas became extinct around the end of the Pleistocene, during a period of rapid and global climate change. In Cyprus, this coincided with the first human presence on the island, as attested by the rock shelter
