(Press-News.org) Alexandria, VA – The International Association for Dental Research (IADR) has announced that Marina Miteva is the 2023 recipient of the IADR Newell W. Johnson Travel Award. Miteva, from Medical University of Sofia, Bulgaria, 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.
Miteva’s abstract, “Effect of Citric Acid on Stem Cells from Apical Papilla,” will be presented in the Interactive Talk session, “Stem Cell Biology: Aspects of Tissue” on Friday, June 23, 2023, at 11:10 a.m. COT.
The Newell W. Johnson Travel Award is named for longtime IADR member Newell W. Johnson of Griffith University, Queensland, Australia. Johnson received the 2019 IADR Distinguished Scientist Award for Global Oral Health Research and made a very generous donation to start the IADR Newell W. Johnson Travel Award Endowment. The funding goal for the award endowment was reached with additional donations from Johnson and other IADR members.
The award provides support to new investigators residing in low-and middle-income countries to attend the IADR General Session & Exhibition. The award is designed to encourage new investigators to carry out research, to support their attendance at the IADR General Session & Exhibition, and to present their research in one of the IADR Scientific Group and Network research areas. The IADR uses the annual World Bank classification of countries by income to determine which countries are low- and middle-income.

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
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 ...
