Nanosponges that Clean Blood


            A nanoengineering team from UC San Diego has created a nanosponge that is believed to clean the blood from any type of poisons. The way it accomplishes this function is by mimicking a red blood cell; it absorbs the toxins and it drifts them away from their targets.

            I found this article really interesting since it’s an easy and fast way to be cured from snake bites, bee sting venoms, etc. A lot of these poisons are deadly so I think this discovery will help save some of these people lives.
