Dealing with hypersensitive teeth can be a real nuisance, causing pain when eating or drinking anything hot, cold, sweet, or acidic. Researchers are now developing tiny “robots” that actively seal the microscopic channels in teeth, offering lasting relief from sensitivity. Building on earlier work, CeNSE scientists are developing “CalBots”—400-nanometer magnetic nanoparticles infused with a calcium-silicate
