Biosensor research has concentrated on developing a simple sensing method with rapid detection, great sensitivity, and minimum interference. Comprising a photoelectric conversion and an ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) One of the complications of nanotoxicology is that the toxicity of a specific nanomaterial cannot be predicted from the toxicity of the same material in a different form. For ...

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.

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, ...

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 ...

Researchers at Michigan Technological University (MTU) are using nanotechnology to improve the form and function of dental implants. Tolou Shokuhfar, PhD, an assistant professor of mechanical ...

Why do we construct nanocomposite for the photocatalytic oxidation desulfurization? Current hydrodesulfurization (HDS) technology is hard to remove thiols and refractory thiophenic compounds to a ...

Researchers at University of Notre Dame, in Indiana, have demonstrated a way to significantly improve the efficiency of solar cells made using low-cost, readily available materials, including a ...

These microadditives enhance color, flavor and freshness. But what do they do in the body? It seemed like a small thing when Paul Westerhoff’s 8-year-old son appeared, with his tongue and lips coated ...
