Titanium oxide particles play a key role in DSC, ensuring effective use of the flow of electrons resulting from the absorption of sunlight by dye.
Since heat treatment of titanium oxide particles at nearly 500 C is required to ensure sufficient photon-to-electron conversion, glass has been used as substrate for electrodes.
And, in forming a titanium oxide film on a resin film substrate, coating/drying of titanium oxide paste is the most convenient process compared with such alternatives as electro-deposition (electrophoresis) and application with pressure.

 Nanotechnology may help overcome current limitations of gene therapy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Scientists from Northwestern University and Argonne National Laboratory have created a hybrid "nanodevice" composed of a "scaffolding" of titanium oxide nanocrystals attached with snippets of DNA that may one day be used to target defective genes that play a role in cancer, neurological disease and other conditions.
For example, researchers would attach to the titanium oxide scaffolding a strand of DNA that matches a defective gene within a cell and introduce the nanoparticle into the nucleus of the cell, where the DNA would bind with its "evil twin" DNA strand to form a double-helix molecule.
The titanium oxide "scaffolding" also is amenable to attaching other molecules, for example, navigational peptides, or proteins, which, like viral vectors, can help the nanoparticles home in on the cell nucleus.

Up to a few years ago, there were traditionally 2 kind of paints used to cover telescope domes: 'Lomit' and titanium oxide.
Titanium oxide is the white paint which had, for example, always been in use at CTIO.
Thus, although titanium oxide is far better than Lomit during the day, it is slightly worse at night, and the air cooling around the dome tends to fall/roll down off the walls and eventually enter the dome through the shutter or the lateral doors, eventually causing dome seeing.
