KEY WORD: SUBLIMINATION
“Sublime Planet can’t take the heat”. New Scientist, 1/28/2012
La probabile temperatura del pianeta Mercurio è adatta alla sublimazione. Il suo periodo orbitale suggerisce che si trovi a solo l’1% della distanza della Terra dal Sole, e quindi la sua superficie dovrebbe raggiungere i 2000 Kelvin. “È ben al di sopra di ciò di cui avresti bisogno per vaporizzare pirosseno, olivina e minerali comuni che compongono i pianeti rocciosi”,
The planet Mercury’s likely temperature is right for sublimation. Its orbital period suggests it is just 1 per cent of Earth’s distance from the sun, and so its surface should reach 2000 kelvin. “That’s well above what you would need to vaporise pyroxene and olivine?& common minerals that make up rocky planets,”

“Ultrasound Rejuvenates Cells” New Scientist, 1/21/2023
Niederfrequenz-Ultraschall scheint eine verjüngende Wirkung auf Tiere zu haben. Es hat nicht nur die Zellteilung in alternden menschlichen Zellen wieder in Gang gesetzt, sondern auch alte Mäuse wiederbelebt, ihre körperliche Leistungsfähigkeit bei Tests wie dem Laufen auf einem Laufband verbessert und eine alte Maus mit gekrümmtem Rücken dazu gebracht, sich wieder normal zu bewegen.
LOW-frequency ultrasound appears to have rejuvenating effects on animals. As well as restarting cell division in ageing human cells, it has reinvigorated old mice, improving their physical performance in tests such as running on a treadmill and making one old mouse with a hunched back move around normally again.

Fresh or rejuvenated honey should be stored at room temperature, ideally in a cupboard or other dark place. Don’t put it in the refrigerator, because cooler tem-peratures hasten crystallization.
