Functionalized Titania Nanotubes Make Short Work Of Pollutants On Glass Surfaces

Titanium dioxide (TiO2), also known as titania, is a strong photocatalyst that breaks down organic compounds when exposed to light. It is widely used as a coating material for preventing the build-up of dirt, bacteria and organic pollutants on outdoor surfaces. Self-cleaning glass, for example, typically has a thin coating of TiO2.

How to Build A Better Magnetometer

Magnetometers come in many shapes and sizes – an ordinary hand-held compass is the simplest – but alkali-vapor magnetometers are extrasensitive devices that measure magnetic fields using light and atoms. They can detect archaeological remains and mineral deposits underground by their faint magnetic signatures, among a host of other scientific applications.
