Researchers at the IIT - Roorkee, have developed fluorescent carbon nanodots for simultaneous detection and destruction of cancer cells.
The nano sized (10-9 metre) carbon materials can serve as therapeutic and diagnostic agents for cancer.
They have been extracted from the leaves of the rosy periwinkle plant.
The research is supported by the Science and Engineering Research Board (SERB) and the Department of Biotechnology (DBT), Union Ministry of Science and Technology.
