Electrochemical Noise Measurement (ENM) and DC electrolytic resistance measurement (ERM) can be used to assess the level of protectiveness provided by an organic coating (paint or varnish) to the underlying metal. These techniques also have applicability to the thinner, transparent type of coatings used to protect archaeological artefacts. Two studies are presented here demonstrating how ERM and ENM techniques can be applied in artefact preservation. The similarity of the techniques, both of which are a measure of resistance, means results can be considered to be analogous. The first study investigated the use of ERM to determine the protection levels provided by typical coatings in order to develop a database of coating type and application for objects, for specific environments. The second study used ENM to evaluate coatings which had been applied to historic artefacts recovered from shipwrecks in the Baltic Sea and displayed inside the museum or kept in the museum store area. The studies showed the usefulness of both techniques for determining the level of protection of a coating and how a better performing coating can be specified if a pre-existing coating on an artefact has been found to be unsuitable.

Abstract Nuclear batteries are a class of power sources that harvest energy from decaying radioactive isotopes to generate electricity for powering sensors and electronics. They are well known in the fields of space exploration and implantable medical devices, but are not widely known to micro or nano-technologists in general. Nuclear batteries are compared against chemical sources of energy applicable to small-scale systems, including energy harvesting prototypes and a mm-scale commercial lithium battery, utilizing the metrics of volumetric power and energy density. Nuclear batteries benefit from orders of magnitude more energy density than power sources derived from chemical reactions, however they also have orders smaller power density. For some sensor applications, nuclear batteries enable capabilities not possible with chemical energy sources, and examples are discussed.
