Spectroscopy
Microscopic particles are now detectable everywhere in the water, soil, and air with an increasing tendency. However, biogenic (organic polymers) and mineral (inorganic sediments) components make this analysis considerably more difficult.

Ageing proteins
The secret to longevity is closer after a proteomics study of Sicilian citizens aged 22-111 confirmed the involvement of known proteins and identified novel ones correlated with age, location, and individual levels of uric acid. This combination could provide a unique signature for healthy aging.

Batteries
The search is on for a successor to today’s lithium-ion batteries that can power electric vehicles for longer and store the growing amounts of energy generated by renewable technologies such as solar and wind. One particularly promising option is to replace the graphite anode used in current lithium-ion batteries with a silicon anode, which can store 10 times more lithium ions.

Spectroscopy
The ability of one woman to detect sufferers of Parkinson's disease from their body odour has been used to help identify metabolites that are modified by the disease. Their detection in sebum by paper spray mass spectrometry takes only a few minutes and could form the basis of a diagnostic test.
