Credit: Getty Images Research 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...
In 1934, Eugene Wigner, a pioneer of quantum mechanics, theorized of an odd sort of matter-- a crystal made from electrons. The idea was very straightforward, proving it had not been. With limited success, physicists tried many tricks over eighty years to nudge electrons right into forming these so-called Wigner crystals. However, in June,...
The ignition of plasma under water. Credit: © Damian Gorczany Physicists of Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) have taken amazing pictures that allow the ignition process of plasma underwater to be observed and also tracked in real-time. Dr. Katharina Grosse has given the first data collections with the ultra-high temporal resolution, backing a new theory on igniting...
How did it all start? This image maps the cooler infrared emission from interstellar dust found throughout the interstellar medium. NASA/JPL-Caltech As humanity has rolled in beyond into space, we have come to learn a great deal even more concerning the lifecycle of the solar system. From a collapsing cloud of gas into an all-new star to an...
via GIPHY Fast cosmic rays originating from supernova residues and pulsars most likely influence galactic dynamics and star development far more than previously recognized. Cosmic rays are charged subnuclear particles that move close to the speed of light, regularly raining down on the Earth. These particles are relativistic, as defined by Albert Einstein's special relativity, and...

You can check out the information of the nebula bordering the star AG Carinae in the high-resolution pictures listed below. This Photo of the Week showcases new sights of...
In this image, Jupiter is shown in visible light for context underneath an artistic impression of the Jovian upper atmosphere’s infrared glow. The brightness of this upper atmosphere layer corresponds to temperatures, from hot to cold, in this order: white, yellow, bright red and lastly, dark red. The aurorae are the hottest regions and...

Sustainability is a crucial concern in business and industry these days. Many firms acknowledge the demand to find the very best possible climate-neutral options for producing their products and decreasing contaminants. This indicates they are searching for manufacturing alternatives that do not call for using fossil resources. Great potential in this regard is seen...

Garlick Our galaxy is not as well-blended as scientists occasionally think, according to brand-new research. That new study mainly focuses on the distribution of what astronomers consider metals-- which is genuinely just every component besides hydrogen and helium, even when...
