Titanium oxide

Artist's impression of the exoplanet WASP-19b, in which atmosphere astronomers detected titanium oxide.[1]

Titanium oxide may refer to:[2]

Titanium dioxide (titanium(IV) oxide), TiO₂
Titanium(II) oxide (titanium monoxide), TiO, a non-stoichiometric oxide
Titanium(III) oxide (dititanium trioxide), Ti₂O₃
Ti₃O
Ti₂O
δ-TiO_x (x= 0.68–0.75)
Ti_nO_2n−1 where n ranges from 3–9 inclusive,[3] e.g. Ti₃O₅, Ti₄O₇, etc.

Uses

Often used as an active ingredient in sunscreens combined with oxybenzone and octyl methoxycinnamate.[4]

Used to give the white colour of titanium white paint.

gollark: Oh, I already deployed it.

gollark: We memetically bombard this with the idea that the current situation is not optimal, and THEN genericize them.

gollark: Of course.

gollark: As a Go developer, you have surely encountered at some point something using the `container` package, containing things like `container/ring` (ring buffers), `container/list` (doubly linked list), and `container/heap` (heaps, somehow). You may also have noticed that use of these APIs requires `interface{}`uous type casting. As a Go developer you almost certainly do not care about the boilerplate, but know that this makes your code mildly slower, which you ARE to care about.

gollark: High demand for generics by programmers around the world is clear, due to the development of languages like Rust, which has highly generic generics, and is supported by Mozilla, a company. As people desire generics, the market *is* to provide them.
