UCLA Engineers Observe Quantum Heat Waves at Room Temperature

Efficient heat management in solids is key to advancing the next generation of electronics. However, wavelike heat movement — known as phonon focusing — had only been observed at extremely low, or cryogenic, temperatures, limiting its study and practical use

Nanodiamonds show promise for aiding recovery from root canal

Nanodiamonds show promise for aiding recovery from root canal

Researchers at the UCLA School of Dentistry and UCLA Engineering found in a clinical trial that nanodiamonds protected disinfected root canals after the nerve and pulp were removed, thereby improving the likelihood of a full recovery. The findings are a milestone for the use of nanodiamonds in humans.
