Have you had your daily dose of nanoparticles? Millions of Japanese citizens get theirs in the form of toothpaste--toothpaste that not only protects teeth, but actually repairs them. According to a report at Nanowerk:

Scientists have learned to synthesize hydroxyapatite, a key component of tooth enamel, as nanosized crystals. When nano-hydroxyapatite is used in toothpaste, it forms a protective film on tooth enamel, and even restores the surface in damaged areas.

Japan's Sangi Company, Ltd., has sold more than 50 million tubes. Availability of similar products that claim to actually repair cavities is just around the corner. (photo Sangi Company)

Incredible, at least another step has been made. This is really amazing. Nanoparticles that can fix teeth. Really nice.

Greeting. Feet, why do I need them if I have wings to fly? Help me! I can not find sites on the: kitchen islands. I found only this - Ceramic glass beads. Pine travel is main source for cheap flights, low cost and discount airfares for travel to. On the heels of the farecast post from earlier today I looked around and realized that we never asked you. With best wishes ;-), Baruch from Honduras.
