Very cool! The nanotech revolution is underway. The stuff nanotech is producing and will produce in the near future is absolutely amazing. We live in interesting times.

Sounds like it beats the crap out of bone wax and gelfoam.

Nanohealing substance stops bleeding in seconds, vampires protest

by Joshua Fruhlinger, posted May 12th 2008 at 9:31AM

We may already have spray-on bandages, but Arch Therapeutics has developed a nanostructured substance that they say stops bleeding almost instantly. Originally developed at MIT, the material is awaiting FDA approval and could make its way into operating rooms soon. The liquid is made up of amino acids that form peptides and cluster into long fibers when exposed to salty environments, like, say, a whole bunch of blood. The material isn't terribly new -- it was originally discovered in the 90s, but only recently during an experiment did researchers realize that it would be great for blood control. Shortly thereafter, people saw dollar signs and Arch Therapeutics was founded.

Note to self: Start selling band-aid stocks short.

Nice, but why nano? If this is nano then almost all chemistry is nano. It is a gimmick to attract capital.
