Researchers at Oxford have pioneered an innovative new method for producing fluorochemicals sustainably without hazardous HF gas. Their nature-inspired technique activates calcium fluoride via mechanochemistry, mimicking the process that forms our bones and teeth. This creates “fluoromix” which can synthesize over 50 useful fluorochemicals at high yields up to 98%, eliminating the need for toxic HF production. Published in Science, this breakthrough could revolutionize fluorochemical manufacturing globally by enabling dramatically safer and greener chemistry.

Does Chocolate, Sugar, or Sweeteners cause Cavities
Do different sweeteners and sugars induce different amounts of cavities? Tooth decay is not directly caused by chocolate. Chocolate does, however, contain sugar, which, if consumed in excess, can lead to the…
Saliva and Cavities
Cavities may develop as a result of saliva (also known as dental caries). Saliva can aid in preventing tooth decay by neutralizing the acids that the bacteria in the mouth create. Saliva…
