Titanium silicate minerals encompass a diverse class of compounds in which titanium occupies coordination environments that can functionally substitute for silicon in the silicate framework. The ...

Researchers have confirmed theoretically-predicted interactions between single oxygen molecules and crystalline titanium dioxide. The results could be of importance for a variety of applications. An ...

Bombarding a crystal with neutrons reveals a quantum quirk that frustrates heat transfer. The crystalline solid BaTiS 3 (barium titanium sulfide) is terrible at conducting heat, and it turns out that ...

STAMFORD — Chemicals and minerals maker Tronox has completed its $1.7 billion acquisition of the titanium dioxide business of Saudi Arabian firm Cristal, after settling a 16-month legal dispute with ...

ACCORDING to the theory of Burton, Cabrera and Frank 1, crystals can only grow at supersaturations too low for two-dimensional nucleation, when dislocations are present. Where a screw dislocation ...

The crystalline solid BaTiS 3 (barium titanium sulfide) is terrible at conducting heat, and it turns out that a wayward titanium atom that exists in two places at the same time is to blame. The ...

Study compares calcium phosphate mineralization on polydopamine and zein coated titanium dioxide nanoparticles using quartz crystal microbalance measurements.

Titanium dioxide is an inexpensive, yet versatile material. It is used as a pigment in wall paint, as a biocompatible coating in medical implants, as a catalyst in the chemical industry and as UV ...
