Titanium dioxide (TiO 2) nanoparticles have a high refractive index (n = 2.4), making them ideal for various applications, including medicines, coatings, inks, plastics, food, cosmetics, and textiles.

An international research team led by École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) has built a perovskite solar cell with an electron transport layer (ETL) based on single-crystalline titanium ...

Nanoparticles of titanium dioxide (TiO2) are commonly used in sunscreens as protection against ultraviolet radiation. Partly because the particles are so small, nanoscale TiO2 does not reflect visible ...

A nanoparticle commonly used in food, cosmetics, sunscreen and other products can have subtle effects on the activity of genes expressing enzymes that address oxidative stress inside two types of ...

A physicist has proposed a new concept for treating cancer cells. A physicist at The University of Texas at Arlington has proposed a new concept for treating cancer cells. In a recently published ...

Materials in the nanometer range have been produced for several decades. Carbon Black, for example, has been used in tires since 1930. Today, the production capabilities for specially designed ...

New research from the University of Massachusetts Amherst is adding weight to a growing body of evidence suggesting the food additive titanium dioxide, also known as E171, can disrupt the gut ...

Titanium dioxide, a common food colouring used in sweets and chewing gum may affect the intestine’s ability to absorb nutrients and protect against harmful pathogens, a study has determined.
