NASA researchers are planning to create the coldest spot in the known universe inside the International Space Station. âWeâre going to study matter at temperatures far colder than are found naturally,â says Rob Thompson of JPL. Heâs the Project Scientist for NASAâs Cold Atom Lab, an atomic ârefrigeratorâ slated for launch to the ISS in 2016. We aim to push effective temperatures down to 100 pico-Kelvin.. A new ScienceCast video explores the strange quantum realm of NASA's new Cold Atom Lab.

Onychocryptosis (from Greek á½Î½ÏÎ¾ onyx nail + ÎºÏÏÏÏÏÏ kryptos hidden), also known as an ingrown toenail, or unguis incarnates, is a common form of nail disease. It is an often painful condition in which the nail grows so that it cuts into one or both sides of the Paronychium or nail bed. The common opinion is that the nail enters inside the Paronychium but, an ingrown toenail can simply be overgrown toe skin. The condition starts from a microbial inflammation of the Paronychium, then a Granuloma, which results in a nail buried inside of the Granuloma.
