Researchers develop safe nanocrystals that emit green light to detect mercury in human cells.

Researchers at IIT Guwahati have developed a new nanomaterial that can detect toxic metals like mercury in human cells without causing harm. The nanocrystals emit a bright green light to identify mercury at low concentrations, making them highly effective for disease diagnostics and environmental monitoring. They are non-toxic and could also be used to detect other toxic metals or for drug delivery.
