An engineered titanium dioxide (TiO2\text{TiO}_2TiO2​) nanoparticle, used as an inorganic UV filter in high-performance sunscreens, is synthesized in the shape of a square-based nanopillar (a cuboid).

The square base of the nanopillar has a side length of 6 nm6\text{ nm}6 nm, and its height is 24 nm24\text{ nm}24 nm.

A square-based nanopillar with height 24 nm and square base dimensions of 6 nm by 6 nm.

a.
