Tracking dynamic cellular processes necessitates fluorescent materials that are photostable, biocompatible, water-soluble, nanosized, and nontoxic. In this study, highly fluorescent carbon dots (CDs) were produced from cheap and readily available sources, citric acid (CA) and Philippine citrus (Citr...
