Graphene kills harmful bacteria superbugs but spares human cells

Scientists have uncovered how graphene oxide pulls off a remarkable trick: it hunts down and destroys harmful bacteria while leaving human cells completely unharmed. By targeting a molecule found only in bacterial membranes, this ultra-thin carbon-based material acts with laser-like precision-offering a powerful new alternative to traditional antibiotics. Even more exciting, it works against drug-resistant superbugs, promotes faster wound healing, and keeps its antibacterial strength even after ...
