German dentists give teeth whitener '5-star seal of approval'
UK-based brand MySweetSmile have been scientifically tested by Dermatest - and they have a sale on their teeth whitening powder, strips and more With sun-soaked holidays, garden gatherings and grand celebrations on the cards this summer, it's the perfect time to think about teeth whitening. But knowing what brand to turn to can be difficult, especially with so much on offer. However, Dermatest - a German collection of dermatologists and dentists that work with organisations like the Fraunhofer Society - has given MySweetSmile their 5-star Seal of Approval. This means it's been rigorously tested by their researchers to guarantee safety during application. For the brand, this means their products were tested to be safe for the enamel, boast sensitivity-free protection and also are effective at what they do. MySweetSmile is the UK's top peroxide-free teeth whitening brand, including the Teeth Whitening Powder and Teeth Whitening Strips. MySweetSmile's formulas are devoid of peroxide, which they claim aids in whitening teeth without causing sensitivity, enamel harm, or irritation. New for June, customers can get 20% off all individual items and 30% off bundles. Furthermore, MySweetSmile is prolonging its Buy 2 Get 1 Free offer across all individual products.

To capitalise on this offer, simply add three products to your basket and the discount will be automatically applied. Customers who spend £40 or more will also be eligible for free, next-day delivery, reports the Manchester Evening News. For those on the lookout for alternatives, Dr Dent is a brand worth considering with its range of teeth whitening solutions, such as the DrDent's Teeth Whitening Strips - which also has the backing of UK dentists. On Amazon, a set of 42 strips is currently tagged at £19.95, but there's an opportunity to cut costs further by snagging an extra 5% off, making it a more wallet-friendly choice. Meanwhile, Superdrug is dishing out discounts of up to 33% on HiSmile dental care items, including the PAP+ Teeth Whitening Strips now down from £29 to an attractive £19. Meanwhile, MySweetSmile's most popular product is their Teeth Whitening Powder, boasting Pentasodium Triphosphate for safe, enamel-friendly cleaning – ideal even for sensitive teeth. They are currently offering a 20% markdown on their Teeth Whitening Powder, dropping from £29.99 to £23.99. The product has amassed a fan base of over 250,000 users and proudly sits with a stellar review score of 4.7 out of 5. Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with many praising it as the best they've used. A particularly pleased 77 year old customer revealed: "I am 77 years old and I bought this thinking it's going to be like everything you see advertised, but to my surprise, it's made my old teeth look amazing. I shall be ordering again." Another satisfied user commented: "A really great product, not only does it remove stains it makes your teeth much whiter and brighter, it seems to be the only product I've found that actually leaves your teeth feeling clean and fresh. This was my 2nd order. With super speedy delivery as well." However, not all reviews were positive, with one person saying: "Cleans teeth very well but this small tub is more like a sample tub as it didn't really whiten my teeth by much. In my case I'd probably need a lot of these tubs for it to work." Elsewhere, their PAP Teeth Whitening Strips are intended to clear out stains and discolouration in seven days. The brand says the peroxide-free composition doesn't cause irritation or sensitivity while also ensuring enamel protection during treatment. The Teeth Whitening Strips boast a 4.6-star out of five-star rating and also comes with a 20% discount, dropping the price from £29.99 to £23.99. One pleased customer said: "I've tried a lot of whitening strips and MySweetSmile's are by far the best on the market. They stick well, don't slide around, and my teeth are noticeably whiter after just a few uses without any sensitivity when drinking cold water and tea." Another said: "After trying MySweetSmile's whitening powder - I knew I had to try the new PAP Whitening Strips to pair with it. It's safe to say I'm nothing short of amazed. I have gotten compliments on the whiteness and cleanliness of my teeth from family and friends almost daily since the use of these strips! They pair with the powder like magic." However, some shoppers have described the application of teeth whitening strips as quite troublesome, with one stating: "The strips were a major faff to use". To tackle this issue, MySweetSmile suggests that consumers "leave a small area overhanging to speed up the removal process, in order to assist with strip removal."

Researchers develop innovative tech to help design future city heating systems: 'Suppliers are taking a big step'
Researchers in Germany have developed a simulation tool that optimizes the management of climate-friendly district heating. According to Tech Xplore, researchers with the German publicly owned Fraunhofer Society are able to predict load peaks and plan new grids by simulating heat flows throughout the entire network. Within the next few years, municipal utility companies and heat suppliers will shift their district heating networks to CO2-free operations. However, these networks have become difficult to efficiently manage as a result of grid changes and the decentralization of the networks. Should the government be able to control how we heat our homes? Definitely Only if it saves money I'm not sure No way Click your choice to see results and speak your mind. That's where the AD Net Heat Project comes in. Thanks to new software developments, network operators can utilize the software to oversee both the temperature and flow conditions at any point in the district heating network. "This allows us to make predictions about heat flows and demand at consumption points during live operation," Dr. Matthias Eimer from the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Mathematics ITWM told Tech Xplore. "Municipal utility companies and energy suppliers can use this data to observe and manage the network, with all its various dynamics, in real time." Tech Xplore calls the new software the physical grid's "digital twin," as it provides key insights, including grid topology, the lengths and cross-sections of pipes, and the number and position of feed-in and consumption points. With the AD Net Heat Project, operations are not only more efficient and cost-effective but also more environmentally friendly. The new software eliminates the need to utilize additional energy sources and reduces unnecessary energy losses. As a result, the AD Net Heat Project not only optimizes daily operations but also makes the district heating network more stable. The new software also has planning capabilities for commissioning new grids. "By doing this, municipal utility companies and district heating suppliers are taking a big step toward a climate-neutral heat supply that conserves resources," Dr. Eimer told Tech Xplore. "They are also lowering their costs."
