November 14 , 2018 2203 days 868 0
  • 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.
