Scientists successfully resuscitated rabbits with coagulopathy from severe hemorrhagic shock using hemostatic nanoparticles and oxygen-carrying nanoparticles, which respectively stopped bleeding and delivered oxygen to the systemic tissues and organs. There are no effective therapies for such massive hemorrhage so far, thereby the combination therapy using two kinds of functional nanoparticles maybe desirable in future emergency trauma care.

Read moreDynamics in quantum dots: Smallest measurable processes recorded individually
Colloquially, the term 'quantum jump' is used to describe a tremendous development. In fact, it is the smallest change of state that can still be traced. Physicists have now succeeded in measuring every single jump by optical means and drawing conclusions about the dynamics of the electrons inside a quantum dot.
