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

Bioorganic coatings are being increasingly used to promote mineralization on inorganic nanoparticles for bone repair, sensing, and environmental technologies. Researchers at Jeonbuk National ...

Shambhavi Das, an Anveshana 2025 student researcher from Prayoga Institute of Education Research, has won the Best STEM Presentation Award at the International ...

With the global population set to reach 9.8 billion by 2050, the world needs to produce more food than ever before. Using current farming methods, that means more fertiliser, more pesticides, more ...

Materials that encourage mineralization, mimicking the process in the human body, are becoming increasingly important in medicine and technology. This process, which occurs at the interface between ...

Researchers from the Institute of Physics and the Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology of the University of Tartu have ...

Discover why antibacterial coatings that appear highly effective during testing may start to diminish in effectiveness after ...

Polydopamine-coated nanoparticles accumulated about 37% more mineral mass than zein-coated ones, indicating faster nucleation and sustained crystal growth. The findings show how the surface chemistry ...

Furthermore, a material engineering approach, such as hydrophobic CeO nanoparticles that attract hydrophobic plastic particles, can aid in effective detection of MPs by selectively targeting MPs like ...

Rinks use energy, water, and refrigerants, and they create microplastics. People are trying to reduce this footprint ...

A new plant-based alternative to titanium dioxide promises bright whitening at low replacement ratios as Seprify scales its cellulose-based SilvaAlba to industrial supply.
