Nanoparticles 20,000 times smaller than human hair can tackle ‘superbugs’ – study

‘There could be a new way to tackle so-called superbugs – and it comes in the form of nanoparticles that are 20,000 times smaller than a human hair. A new study claims the nanoparticles managed to kill 92 percent of drug-resistant bacterial cells.

In an effort to fight drug-resistant infections known as ‘superbugs,’ a team of researchers from the University of Colorado Boulder introduced light-activated nanoparticles, known as quantum dots, which resemble tiny commercial semiconductors used in consumer electronics.

According to the study, published in the journal Nature Materials on Wednesday, the quantum dots were successful in killing 92 percent of drug-resistant lab-grown bacterial cells.’
