The blood clotting powder rapidly produces fibrous compounds at room temperature that are a high volume to ratio and can absorb blood quickly when applied. “This is a product that will give…

When you get to the hospital, you’re injected with radioactive material, after which you must wait an hour while it washes through your body. Next, you enter the PET scanner and have to attempt to…
You’re lost. Even worse, there’s no cell signal. The last thing keeping you from fully freaking out is that little blue dot — the universal sign that, somewhere up above, a GPS satellite has eyes on you. But what if you don’t even have that?
