Tuning Luminescence from Carbon Nanodots: a New Strategy for Antimicrobial Inactivation

See t.ly/VaP9 — Beyond antibiotics, sterilization techniques hold significant promise in combating the growing threat of bacterial antibiotic resistance—which has retained urgency in recent years. One such strategy is antimicrobial photodynamic inactivation (APDI) of bacteria, also known as antimicrobial photodynamic therapy. APDI—which combines excitation light, molecular oxygen, and a photosensitizing agent to generate highly reactive…
