Biologically derived carbon-based nanomaterials have been gaining attention in the recent years due to its various potential medical applications. In this study, fluorescent carbon nanoparticles (FCNPs) derived from an abundant alga, Cladophora vagabunda is first reported. FCNPs with an average diam...
