Researchers from the Queensland University of Technology and Griffith University have developed a method for turning small hair strands into carbon nanodots, which are tiny, uniform dots that are one-millionth of a millimeter. To produce the carbon nanodots, they developed a two-step process that involved breaking down the hairs and then burning them at 240 degrees Celsius.
