In a groundbreaking scientific achievement, researchers from the Department of Life Sciences at the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Rourkela have developed a revolutionary herbal-based antibiotic capable of destroying antibiotic-resistant bacteria, commonly known as superbugs.
This innovative medicine has been hailed as a major breakthrough in the field of antibiotic research. The student-led research team has successfully created zinc oxide nanoparticles in their laboratory -a compound that has proven to be twice as effective as traditional antibiotics in killing harmful bacteria within the human body.
What makes this discovery even more remarkable is its natural origin. After studying extracts from 12 different plants, the researchers found that a combination derived from the le
