Wait so, what do these microrobots actually look like? Are they just small black bristles that you put in your mouth?

- Silica6149 4y agoIron nanoparticles controlled by a magnetic field it seems like. The thing I'm curious about though is, how do they remove all the iron particles afterward? Would I just get a month's dose of iron each time this thing brushes my teeth?
- upsidesinclude 4y agoSuck on a big bar magnet! Really, that would do. Better still would be an electro magnetic retainer. Then the particles cloud be captured and returned to a container. I doubt iron nano particles would be reusable, but you wouldn't want them down the sink as they would likely be nucleation points for rust Is anyone familiar with the health consequences of inhaling or otherwise ingesting nano iron?

- hanklazard 4y agoYeah, the name is really misleading, if I’m understanding the tech correctly.
