BMJ Group announced the retraction of the study this afternoon. Originally published last year, the small trial purportedly showed that people who drank apple cider vineg

Cool Chemistry Trick Could Transform Vinegar Into a Powerful Weapon Against Superbugs

Whenever “quantum” enters the scene, science can take many unexpected turns. Common cooking ingredients are no exception to this rule—as demonstrated by European researchers investigating the healing power of vinegar. A recent ACS Nano paper suggests that antimicrobial nanoparticles significantly boost the bacteria-killing abilities of vinegar, formally known as acetic acid. Specifically, the researchers engineered quantum dots—tiny particles controlled by quantum mechanical effects—to target a
