Shapeshifting microrobots can brush and floss teeth: Hands-free system could effectively automate the treatment and removal of tooth-decay-causing bacteria and dental plaque, research shows
A shapeshifting robotic microswarm may one day act as a toothbrush, rinse, and dental floss in one. The technology, developed by a multidisciplinary team at the University of Pennsylvania, is poised to offer a new and automated way to perform the mundane but critical daily tasks of brushing and flossing. It’s a system that could […]
