When the world of nanotechnology and microbreweries meet: Researchers succeed in synthesizing carbon quantum dots from brewery wastes - Science Daily

Researchers have shown that microbrewery waste can be used as a carbon source to synthesize quantum dots.

For a few years now, spent grain, the cereal residue from breweries, has been reused in animal feed. From now on, this material could also be used in nanotechnology! Professor Federico Rosei's team a… [+3348 chars]
