First field tests with photocatalytic materials have shown that it is possible to improve the air quality. In 2002 scientists have coated a surface of 7000 square meter in Milan with a photoctalytic material. The result: the nitrogen oxide concentration was reduced by 60 percent. Although it does not look…

With its soaring concrete sails reaching high into the sky, the Dio Padre Misericordioso Church, just east of central Rome, beckons religious and architectural devotees alike. The structure is also something of a temple to nanoscience—for it retains its bright white hue thanks to the presence of nanostructured titanium dioxide…
