TL;DR: Paul Scherrer and Peter Debye developed powder X-ray diffraction together, but it was Scherrer who figured out how to determine the size of crystallites from the broadening of diffraction peaks.

TL;DR: Since chronic, oral uptake of TiO2 particles by consumers has continuously increased in the past decades, the possibility of chronic accumulation of such biopersistent nanoparticles in secondary organs and the skeleton raises questions about the responsiveness of their defense capacities, and whether these could be leading to adverse health effects in the population at large.

TL;DR: An outline of some cyclotron-based irradiation techniques that can be used to directly radiolabel industrially manufactured nanoparticles, as well as two techniques for synthesis of labelled nanoparticles using cyclotrons-generated radioactive precursor materials.

TL;DR: The biokinetics patterns after IT-instillation and GAV were similar but both were distinctly different from the pattern after intravenous injection disproving the latter to be a suitable surrogate of the former applications.

TL;DR: The common hypothesis that IV-injection is a suitable predictor for the biokinetics fate of nanoparticles administered by different routes is disproved by this series of studies.
