Scientists Develop Injectable Biomaterial with Nanoscale Sponge Particles

In “Fantastic Voyage”, the campy 1966 science fiction movie, a team of scientists miniaturized a submarine with themselves inside and passed through the body of one of their team members in order to break a highly dangerous blood clot. A part from micro-humans, one can imagine the inflammation caused by metal sub.
