Periodontitis has been associated with a variety of systematic diseases via affecting gut microbiota. However, the influence of periodontal treatment on intestinal microbiota is not known. Hyperlipidemia can significantly alter gut microbiota structure. It is proposed that the presence of hyperlipidemia can influence the impact of periodontitis on…[Read more]

In this work, we report the potential energy surface between superatoms (SPES) based on first-principles theory. The calculations show that superatoms have SPES crossing behavior between different electronic states similar to an atomic potential energy surface (PES). However, unlike atoms, the relative rotation between superatoms results in new…[Read more]
