Candies that restore tooth enamel

17.08.2023

Researchers from the University of Washington have presented a new revolutionary tool - sweets that can not only maintain, but also restore tooth enamel. This breakthrough in dental science has been tested in rats as well as extracted teeth from humans and pigs.

Mint-flavoured sweets got their unique property thanks to a special genetically engineered peptide derived from the protein amelogenin. Amelogenin plays an important role in the formation of tooth enamel and tooth crown.

The peptide, which is part of the sweets, interacts with dentin - the layer of the tooth located under the enamel. This action contributes to the formation of a new layer of enamel that can restore the structure of the tooth.

Researchers predict that eating just one candy a day will be enough to maintain the strength of tooth enamel, and with two candies, even damaged enamel will be repaired. This method can be an important step towards better dental health and prevent many dental problems in the future.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

3D printer with voice control 30.09.2013

Yahoo Japan has demonstrated a prototype of the world's first 3D printer capable of responding to voice commands and recognizing them. The device is being developed primarily for visually impaired people, as well as for students - some schools in Japan, according to the developers, will receive such printers as soon as they go into production.

The new 3D printer is called Hands on Search, and it only responds to the voice of the person who is in close proximity to it. It is enough just to tell him what exactly needs to be printed, and he will immediately start searching for the appropriate three-dimensional model. According to the creators of the printer, it will take him about 15 minutes to complete the task assigned to him. The model is printed from special plastic.

So far, Yahoo Japan has already released one Hands on Search printer, and it is located in one of the universities in Tokyo, where students with poor eyesight study. Until the middle of next month, everyone can evaluate its performance for free. This is done in order to assess the demand for modern devices aimed at visually impaired people.

If the idea is well received, then Hands on Search will be mass-produced, and a special website will be created for it in the form of a database of three-dimensional models. As reported, at the moment there are already about 100 such models, of course, the basic ones. These include figures of animals and insects, as well as various buildings, including landmarks.
