I'm so genius. Get this.

Welcome.

This is the show where we bring science.

What that essentially means is

Discoveries,

advances, research, technology, unbelievable. is discovery is the advances research technology unbelievable

without further ado this is the naked scientist

hello welcome to this week's naked scientists the program that brings you the latest

breakthroughs in science technology and medicine with me, Chris Smith.

Coming up, scientists invent artificial platelets to help blood to clot.

Also, why it might be time to reappraise the alleged peace-loving nature of bonobos,

and a bit later on why the Moon may have turned itself inside out in the past.

From Cambridge University's Institute of Continuing Education,

this is the Naked Scientists. First this week every year around 1.5 million people die from catastrophic

bleeding. A large number of these people have been involved in accidents and because infusing blood and specifically

blood clotting products outside a medical setting can be challenging, they often die before

they reach hospital.

But now scientists at North Carolina State University have developed a particle based on an artificial

gel decorated like a Christmas tree with proteins that give it the right functions to mimic the actions of platelets.

These cell fragments in our blood are responsible for kick-starting the clotting process normally,
