Barium titanate nanoparticles (BTNPs) have also been investigated for their ability to generate electrical potential under physical stimuli: one of the main way to achieve this stimulation is through the use of ultrasound waves, that are able to generate extremely precise and penetrating physical stimuli[1] . This ability has been studied also for biomedical application: In one example the electrical stimuli generated by BTNPs has been used to remotely stimulate neuronal cells[2]. Other applications include the tratment of breast cancer[3] and glioblastoma multiforme[4], where the remote electrical stimulation of cancer cell is able to induce the distruption of ions homeostasis, block cell proliferation and induce death. BTNPs have also been used to develop active substrate able to stimulate the differentiation of human bones cells[5].
