(By Anna Salleh) The most effective nanoparticles in some invisible sunscreens might also be the most toxic, suggests a new Australian modelling study.
The study, by Dr Amanda Barnard of CSIRO Materials Science and Engineering in Melbourne, appears in today's issue of Nature Nanotechnology.
Dr Barnard carried out computer simulations of the properties of titanium dioxide nanoparticles, which are used to make some sunscreens transparent, increasing their appeal to consumers.
