Swab a clear liquid onto a gaping wound and watch the bleeding stop in seconds. An international team of researchers has accomplished just that in animals, using a solution of protein molecules that self-organise on the nanoscale into a biodegradable gel that stops bleeding.

If the material works as well in humans, it could save thousands of lives and make surgery far easier in many cases, surgeons say.

OOooh! Put this stuff in bullets to make them less lethal?

Only on hollow points! ;-)

Large wound cavity, induces shock but... they don't bleed to death. WOOT
