The ability to reliably and accurately detect levels of iodide ion and curcumin is crucial in the fields of food and life sciences. For a study published in the KeAi journal Bioactive Materials, researchers from China and the US developed nitrogen-doped fluorescent carbon dots (NCDs) as a multi-mechanism detection tool for iodide ion and curcumin in complex biological and food samples.
