Nanoparticles help Gauze Stop Gushing Wounds
Medical gauze hasn't changed much since World War I: Medics can only stuff it into a gushing wound and pray.
Now chemists have infused cotton gauze with nanoparticles, giving it a vastly improved ability to halt blood loss -- even in tight spots like the neck or groin where it's hard to apply pressure. The new material could help save lives on the battlefield and in civilian situations, where trauma victims often bleed to death before they can be transported to a hospital or other medical facility.

This will be great for those
This will be great for those who are serving our country right now. I'm good friends with a medic in the Army, and he said they need to develop more efficient gauze for use in the field. It looks like there heading in the right direction! -- Peter L.
