title: [Developing a new spectroscopy analytical method--sonoluminescence].
abstract: Sonoluminescence is a weak emission of light when liquid was irradiated by ultrasound. Since the 80 s last century, several researchers began to use this luminescence to chemical analysis, medical detection and environmental monitoring. This paper gives a review on the advancement of this area, including sonoluminescence in cancer detection, as a new atomic emission spectroscopy in elements analysis and environmental monitoring.
