I rate Tronox as a HOLD due to near-term demand weakness in TiO2, margin pressures, and free cash flow concerns despite long-term tailwinds. Recent earnings disappointed, with negative surprises, ...

Unlike optical microscopy, SEM does not rely on light waves but instead uses a beam of electrons to interact with materials, enabling magnifications up to 300,000× and resolutions approaching 1 nm. 1 ...

Neutrinos, ghostly particles barely interacting with matter, may secretly be reshaping the fates of massive stars. New research suggests that as stars collapse, they form natural "neutrino colliders," ...

To better evaluate the impact on living organisms of the widespread presence of titanium dioxide in the environment and measure the real exposure of animals and humans, scientists from INRAE, AP-HP, ...

Invisible plastics in the air are infiltrating our bodies and cities. Scientists reveal the urgent health dangers and outline bold solutions for a cleaner, safer future. Study: Air pollution and its ...

On a quiet pandemic afternoon in 2021, Zhiyuan Wang, then a graduate student at Rice University, was alleviating his boredom by working on a weird mathematical problem. After he found an exotic ...

Titanium micro-particles in the oral mucosa around dental implants are common. This is shown in a new study which also identified 14 genes that may be affected by these particles. Titanium ...
