Low and high hydrogen peroxide concentrations of in-office dental bleaching associated with violet light: an in vitro study
ConclusionsUsing
violet light in conjunction with 6% or 35% HP does not alter the
physical properties of the bleaching agents, the penetration of HP or
enhance color change. However, an increase in temperature was observed
when violet light was applied associated with bleaching gels.Clinical relevanceWhile
the simultaneous use of violet light with hydrogen peroxide 6% or 35%
does not alter the material ' s properties, it also does not bring
benefits in reducing hydrogen peroxide penetration and improving color
change. Furthermore, the use of violet light increases pulp temperature. (Source: Dental Technology Blog)

Singapore to Build World ’s Largest Facility to Boost Carbon-Removal Power of the Ocean
The Equatic Process, a novel carbon removal technology and one of the best inventions of 2023, is getting a major scale-up, with the world’s largest ocean carbon dioxide removal (OCDR) facility set to be built in Singapore and operational by 2025—sparking optimism for what has been hailed as a potential game changer for global climate efforts after scientists agreed in 2022 that atmospheric carbon-removal technology will be necessary for the world to reach its climate goals.

NSF board approves funding for just one of two proposed giant telescopes
U.S. astronomers will have to make do with one giant ground-based telescope rather than the desired two, the National Science Board (NSB) announced yesterday.
Meeting last week, the panel of scientists that oversees the National Science Foundation (NSF) capped the budget of the U.S. Extremely Large Telescope Program (US-ELTP) at $1.6 billion, enough for a substantial share in one 30-meter class telescope. But US-ELTP represents the interests of two such projects—the Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT) in Chile and the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) in Hawaii—which are building components but not fully funded. The board ...

Dehydrate the stratosphere to curb global warming? Scientists float risky new strategy
Given the alarm about rising levels of carbon dioxide and methane, it’s easy to forget that plain old water vapor is a major greenhouse gas, too. It can linger for years in the stratosphere, for example, absorbing heat from the surface and re-emitting it back down. According to one study, a possible jump in stratospheric water during the 1990s
may have boosted
global warming by up to 30% during that time. But what if you could stop water from getting there in the first place?
That’s the idea behind a new geoengineering technique,
proposed
today in
Science Advances
