Smile-shaped electron gradient distributions observed during magnetic reconnection at Earth’s magnetopause

Electron distributions exhibit velocity-space signatures indicative of the rapid energy released by magnetic reconnection explosions occurring in Earth’s magnetosphere and in plasmas throughout the universe. Here, the authors discover a smile-shaped signature in the electron gradient distribution associated with reconnection occurring at Earth’s dayside magnetopause boundary.

Non-polarizing broadband multilayer reflectors in fish

The mechanism by which various species of silvery fish produce almost perfect broadband, polarization-neutral reflections is revealed. The answer lies with the use of multilayers composed of two types of birefringent guanine crystals, which each have their extraordinary and ordinary refractive indices orientated in different directions.

Iron oxide nanozymes stabilize stannous fluoride for targeted biofilm killing and synergistic oral disease prevention

Ferumoxytol (Fer) is an FDA-approved iron oxide formulation that disrupts caries-causing biofilms with high specificity but cannot interfere with enamel acid demineralization. Here, Fer is combined with stannous fluoride (SnF2), resulting in enhanced stability of SnF2 and inhibition of both biofilm accumulation and enamel damage more effectively than either alone.
