ICAME is the major International Conference on research in which Mössbauer Spectroscopy plays a key role. Mainstream topics cover Condensed Matter Science, - magnetism, nanophase materials, chemical structure and bonding, industrial applications including catalysis and corrosion, biological and medical studies. Non-mainstream investigations include relating diamonds to the state of the earth's interior and processes on asteroids and meteorites. Techniques include synchrotron radiation studies as well as traditional spectroscopy to provide a snapshot of worldwide activity in this field of research in 2001.
