I read on these same forums, that crushed cayenne pepper applied liberally to a wound will also stop bleeding in about 10-15 seconds. It won't help with arterial bleeding, but for most cuts, it works about as well and fast as this new nano tech.
As a bonus, you can get it now and at any grocery store.
Still, I echo the comments above, this new stuff needs to get out to the troops as soon as possible.

I'll have to try the cayenne trick. Doesn't it burn like the bejabbers?
Meanwhile, hats off to MIT for a fantastic breakthrough.
