Scientists have collected evidence of local symmetry breaking in a quantum material upon heating. They believe these local states are associated with electronic orbitals that serve as orbital degeneracy lifting (ODL) "precursors" to the titanium (Ti) dimers (two molecules linked together) formed when the material is cooled to low temperature. (Electron orbitals are considered...
An international group of scientists made a tiny chemistry lab for a rover that will drill below the Martian surface, searching for previous or existing life signs. For ExoMars Reconnaissance is a joint venture involving the European Space Agency and the Russian aerospace company Roscosmos. NASA made a significant contribution to MOMA, the laboratory...
Crystals of the material hexagonal boron nitride can be etched so that the pattern you draw at the top transforms into a smaller and razor-sharp version at the bottom. These perforations can be used as a shadow mask to draw components and circuits in graphene. This process enables a precision that is impossible with...
Some physical systems, particularly in the quantum world, do not reach stable equilibrium, even after long. An ETH researcher has now discovered a sophisticated description of this phenomenon.If a bottle of beer is placed in a huge bathtub loaded with icy water, it will not be long before you can enjoy a chilly beer....
The discoveries, by Nagoya College researchers and colleagues in Japan and released in the journal Advanced Materials, allude to the development of materials and device methods used in optical quantum computing data processing.Photons are light particles with fascinating properties that can be explored for the storage and transportation of data and reveal tremendous promise...
Recent research reveals evidence that nursing mothers do not transmit COVID through breastmilk.A research study conducted by scientists at the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC)– in partnership with numerous other universities– implies that nursing females with COVID-19 do not transfer the SARS-CoV-2 virus with their milk. However, they do give milk-borne antibodies that...
Researchers boost their recently developed quantum algorithm, bringing it to one-tenth the computational price of Quantum Phase Estimation, and also utilize it to directly compute the vertical ionization energies of light atoms as well as molecules such as CO, O2, CN, F2, H2O, NH3 within 0.1 electron volts of accuracy.OSAKA, Japan. Quantum computers have...

Credit: Getty ImagesResearch led by scientists at the University of Toronto highlights the considerable damages that can be triggered by common teeth-whitening agents.Published just recently in Nature Scientific Reports, the study assessed the dental cell damage caused by carbamide peroxide teeth-whitening remedies.It found that a suggested application of only 10 percent carbamide peroxide gel...
Via Tyngsboro Cosmetic DentistrySelfies taken before a person's disappearance can indeed provide valuable information for forensic dental identification. Dental records play a crucial role in identifying individuals when other forms of identification may be unavailable or inconclusive. Selfies that capture clear images of a person's smile, teeth, and dental structures can assist forensic experts...
