"Ruthenium: An Element Loved by Researchers" ed. by Hitoshi Ishida

This book presents information and research on the properties and applications of ruthenium, including potential uses in phytochemical functions and anticancer activity.

Ruthenium is a precious metal not widely known to non-scientists. It is a target of much research, however. It is used in computer hard drives, the tips of fountain pens, and as a catalyst to purify car exhaust, among other uses.
