Titanium dioxide, one of the most-produced nanoparticles worldwide, is being used increasingly in foodstuffs. When intestinal cells absorb titanium dioxide particles, this leads to increased ...

Researchers at Rice University have developed a new "mat" that can adsorb and destroy pollutants from water. The purifier is made up of titanium dioxide nanoparticles embedded into polymer fibers, ...

Nanoparticles possess not only excellent structural features but also very good functional features. The potential for nanoparticles in industrial applications, disease diagnoses, medical imaging and ...

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 ...

An international research team discovered that it is possible to use titanium dioxide nanoparticles with gold to accelerate the evaporation in desalination plants up to 2.5 times and track hazardous ...

A team of researchers from Mayo Clinic have found that that Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles that are present in bone implants may be causing harm by impairing bone formation and interfering with ...

Loads of cosmetics like sunscreen lotions contain titanium dioxide. These nanoparticles are contentious. Experts suspect they may have harmful effects on people and the environment. But it is ...

Scientists have shown that gold and titanium dioxide nanoparticles can help radiation kill cancer cells even when oxygen is scarce. It's a major breakthrough for tackling hypoxia-linked treatment ...
