Scanning electron micrograph of the titanium dioxide. Engineers at Ohio State University have discovered how to from tiny nanofingers on the surface of the ceramic, with a process that changes it into titanium oxide. The entire surface shown here is approximately 4.5 micrometers (millionths of a meter) across. Photo by Sehoon Yoo, courtesy of Ohio State University.
