Shining a light on acne

Abstract:
Scientists at the University of California hope nanotechnology - the science of engineering at a molecular level - will offer a solution. They are working on coconut-oil "nano-bombs" that will target bacteria with antibacterial lauric acids. Meanwhile, you could try the decidedly low-tech remedy of turmeric (a natural antiseptic) mixed with coconut oil (high in lauric acid) as a face mask.
