Tooth

Research into tooth regeneration is drawing attention, with reports suggesting science may one day allow people to regrow lost teeth instead of relying on implants or dentures. The work builds on studies of stem cells and the biological mechanisms that form teeth during development, raising hopes for future clinical treatments.

A self-described sugar addict is testing viral dessert recipes marketed as healthy alternatives, rating whether they satisfy a serious sweet tooth. The idea has drawn close to a million likes, with audiences weighing in on whether these trendy low-sugar treats actually live up to the hype or fall short of the originals.

Researchers are documenting the rapidly melting ice patches on Montana's Beartooth Plateau, where Beartooth Highway (US-212) is set to close Tuesday. Ice patches thousands of years old were found thinner than last year, with surveys rushed ahead of forecast snow expected late Sunday or Monday. Melting should pause as the weather system moves through next week, but the findings underscore accelerating ice loss in the region.

Stephanie Uchino-Beach, writing in the Oakland Review of Books, compares AI enthusiasm to praising a car's Bluetooth audio system while the driver cannot adjust the seat to drive. The essay, titled "How AI Replaced Me," argues that discussions of advanced AI features ignore more basic failures in how the technology and workplaces around it actually function.

Philips has unveiled a new Sonicare DiamondClean 9900 Prestige, a smart toothbrush that uses motion tracking and AI to analyse brushing habits and coach users toward better technique. The device is being discussed as part of a broader wave of health-tech gadgets applying AI to everyday routines.

British band Tooth has signed to Parlophone Records, with a separate publishing deal with Warner Chappell Music UK. The double signing gives the emerging group major-label backing for both its recordings and songwriting, and marks another new act added to Warner Music's UK roster as the label looks for its next breakout artist.

A survey by Android Authority has found that few Android readers change their device's hidden Bluetooth audio codec setting, with nearly a third of respondents unaware the option even exists. The setting, buried in developer options, can affect audio quality on wireless headphones and speakers. The results have prompted discussion about how many users may be missing out on better sound quality from their Bluetooth devices.

The Wallbox Pulsar Max, a 7.4kW Type 2 electric vehicle charger with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity rated for both indoor and outdoor use, is being featured in product listings and automotive coverage. The compact home charging unit is aimed at drivers looking for a connected Level 2 charger, and it is being discussed alongside the broader growth in home EV charging equipment.

New research indicates that Piezo touch-sensing ion channels play a role in directing odontoblasts, the cells responsible for producing tooth dentin. The finding suggests mechanical forces may influence how teeth form and maintain themselves, opening possible avenues for regenerative dentistry and a better understanding of how mechanical sensing shapes tissue development.

New analysis of T. rex tooth enamel suggests the famous dinosaur was warm-blooded, according to a segment on CBC's Quirks & Quarks science programme. The finding feeds a long-running debate over whether large theropods regulated their own body temperature like modern birds and mammals rather than relying on their surroundings. Science enthusiasts online are sharing the story widely, calling it a striking shift in how these dinosaurs are understood.

The Council on Foreign Relations argues that the AI safety pact under President Trump lacks enforcement power and does little to constrain risky development of artificial intelligence. The analysis nonetheless outlines a possible path forward, suggesting stronger standards, clearer oversight and international coordination could still give AI safety commitments real teeth.

The online station Real Rebel Radio is currently playing "Free" by the American metalcore band BEARTOOTH on its pop-up player. A listener shared the track on social media with a now-playing tag, giving the band and song a small boost of visibility among fans of heavier rock music.

Black Tooth Business Park has reached the final plat stage, a key step in formalizing lots for development. The item was reported by Sheridan Media, indicating local interest in the business park's progress. Little further detail is available about the approval's terms or timeline.

Automatic weather readings from Montserrat, the saw-toothed mountain range near Barcelona in Catalonia, showed 18.5°C, 98% humidity, calm winds, pressure at 989.1 hPa, and no rainfall or ultraviolet exposure. A public webcam continues to stream live views of the monastery and peaks, which draw hikers, pilgrims and weather watchers.

Elecom has released the HS-GH60OBK, a wireless gaming headset weighing about 174 grams that supports both 2.4GHz and Bluetooth connections. The ultra-lightweight design is being highlighted for gamers seeking comfort during long sessions, and the release is being covered across Japanese gaming and gadget news outlets.

A user with a six-year-old Philips television has described frustration with the awkward interface for switching audio between the TV speakers and headphones via a Sennheiser transmitter. They solved the problem by using the TV's optical audio output with an affordable Toslink Bluetooth adapter, and shared the workaround online.

A fact check by AFP has concluded that diet alone cannot heal dental cavities, pushing back against claims circulating online that nutrition or dietary changes can reverse tooth decay. While diet plays a role in cavity prevention, the outlet finds it cannot repair decayed teeth, meaning dental treatment remains necessary once a cavity has formed.

Senate Democrats have blocked a bill led by Sen. Jon Husted dealing with data centers, dismissing the legislation as 'toothless'. The move halts the measure's progress in the chamber and underscores partisan disagreement over how Congress should regulate or support the rapidly expanding data center industry. Critics argue the bill lacked meaningful enforcement, while its Republican backers had pitched it as a step toward addressing the sector's growth.
