This report highlights the development of functionalising glucose-synthesized carbon nanospheres (GCNS) for antimicrobial activity. Activated carbon have been widely used in water treatment processes, however, it is not used to kill microbes in these processes. Thus, GCNS offer an innovative alterna...
