Domenick Zero named recipient of the 2023 IADR Distinguished Scientist William H. Bowen Research in Dental Caries Award

2023-06-22
(Press-News.org) Alexandria, VA, USA – The International Association for Dental Research (IADR) announced that Domenick Zero is this year’s recipient of the IADR Distinguished Scientist William H. Bowen Research in Dental Caries Award. Zero, from Indiana University, Indianapolis, USA, was recognized during the Opening Ceremonies of the 101st General Session of the IADR, which was held in conjunction with the 9th Meeting of the Latin American Region and the 12th World Congress on Preventive Dentistry, that took place on June 21, 2023, in Bogotá, Colombia.

Zero is Professor, Department of Cariology, Operative Dentistry and Dental Public Health, Indiana University. A central theme of his outstanding career has been to improve the oral health of the public through caries research and the sharing of learning from his research. As a Cariologist, his research interests have included studies on dietary factors, microbial virulence factors, the protective role of saliva, caries risk assessment, the mechanism of action of fluoride (including its oral pharmacokinetics), clinical efficacy of topical fluorides and other non-fluoride remineralizing agents, dental sealants, novel anti-microbial/oral biofilm strategies, and new clinical methods of early caries detection. He has also made contributions to the understanding of dental erosion and its prevention.

The main impact of his research has been on caries prevention and the management of early caries lesions, providing the dental profession and the public the tools to move away from the need for invasive operative treatment and towards tooth preservation and improved oral health.

Supported by Johnson & Johnson Consumer Inc., the William H. Bowen Research in Dental Caries Award is designed to stimulate and recognize outstanding and innovative achievements that have contributed to the basic understanding of caries etiology and/or to the prevention of dental caries. It is one of the 17 IADR Distinguished Scientist Awards and one of the highest honors bestowed by the IADR.

Space tech to shrink as the limits of quantum physics are tested on Earth and beyond

Space tech to shrink as the limits of quantum physics are tested on Earth and beyond
2023-06-22
A UK-wide consortium is developing technologies to use nanoparticles as state-of-the-art sensors on small, shoebox-sized satellites known as CubeSats. The Universities of Warwick, Swansea and Strathclyde have been awarded £250k to further research into nanoparticles and quantum physics in the application of space technology. Recent advances in the field of levitated optomechanics (the motion of tiny particles held and measured in free space by laser light), have shown that nanoparticles can exhibit behaviours that are governed by the laws of quantum mechanics (a fundamental theory which describes how atoms and subatomic particles interact). This has led to nanoparticles, which are ...

New research shows vegetation accelerates coastal dune erosion during extreme events

New research shows vegetation accelerates coastal dune erosion during extreme events
2023-06-21
INTRODUCTION Coastal sand dunes provide the first line of defense from storms for some of the most economically valuable and ecologically important landscapes in the world (1–3). A current and broadly accepted paradigm is that vegetation reduces the erosion of these dunes during wave attack (4–7). The existing body of dune research shows that a greater size (8), density (9–11), and diversity (12) of plants are associated with less erosion, although these studies have been limited ...

Inside-out heating and ambient wind could make direct air capture cheaper and more efficient

Inside-out heating and ambient wind could make direct air capture cheaper and more efficient
2023-06-21
What started as a simple errand to deposit a check at a bank drive-through became the kind of “aha” moment found mostly in books and movies. Georgia Tech researchers had been working on an idea to simplify traditional direct air capture (DAC) systems. Their approach used ambient wind flow to draw air across a new kind of coated carbon fiber to grab CO2. That would eliminate the loud fans used in many systems. And the carbon fiber strands could be quickly heated to release the captured carbon dioxide with ...
