Overview: Some newly discovered effects lose their glamor after a short period of euphoria. Others, however, retain their fascination for a long time and, even as they mature, display unexpected features. The Mossbauer effect belongs to the second category.

Since then the flow of publications has steadily increased. Most studies follow predict­ abl e paths; the essential aspects of these "conventional" experiments have been described in th
