Insider Brief Researchers have developed an antibacterial strategy using graphene-based quantum dots that eliminated over 99.9% of S. aureus and E. coli bacteria under low-intensity blue light, including strains resistant to multiple antibiotics – without the use of conventional antibiotics. The approach was developed by Sedat Nizamoğlu, professor at Koç University in Istanbul, and colleagues. […]
