During the past decade it has been recognized that the stable isotope compositions of several metallic elements vary significantly in nature due to both biotic and abiotic processing. While this leap in our understanding has been fueled by recent advances in instrumentation and techniques in both thermal ionization and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, the field of metal stable isotope geochemistry has finally moved beyond a focus on development of analytical techniques and toward using the isotopes as source and process tracers in natural and experimental systems.

During the past decade it has been recognized that the stable isotope compositions of several metallic elements vary significantly in nature due to both biotic and abiotic processing. While this leap in our understanding has been fueled by recent advances in instrumentation and techniques in both thermal ionization and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, the field of metal stable isotope geochemistry has finally moved beyond a focus on development of analytical techniques and toward using the isotopes as source and process tracers in natural and experimental systems. Often termed the “non-traditional stable isotopes,” metal stable isotope systems have found wide application in the geological, hydrological, and environmental research realms and are enjoying a rapidly expanding presence in the scientific literature. This issue of Elements focuses on several intriguing aspects of low-temperature metal stable isotope geochemistry.

Medical Mineralogy And Geochemistry, December 2007, Vol. 3, No. 6
$20.00Medical mineralogy and geochemistry is an emergent, highly interdisciplinary field concerned with both normal and pathological interactions between minerals or amorphous inorganic solids and biomolecules or cells within the human body, and the transport and fate of prions and protein toxins in the soil environment. Prior research has, appropriately, focused on the complex genetic and molecular biological aspects, but there is a growing recognition of the vital need for understanding the surface and bulk properties and reactivities, especially at the challenging nanoscale characteristic of biomacromolecules and biominerals.
