Nanocure to deadly viruses found?
Abstract:
Leo Rasnetsov, a self-dubbed Russian nanowizard, claims to have used nanotechnology to find cheap solutions to HIV and flu viruses. But many scientists have already written off his potions as pure hocus pocus.
Nanotechnology holds many promises for future innovations, from medical cures to the manufacture of consumer goods.
A businessman-turned-scientist, Rasnetsov makes suppositories and mouthwash. But in his former military factory, he says he's all ready for his nano-debut.
"This is not a vaccine, this is a universal remedy for all types of flu virus of group A nanoparticles which would target the virus safely. The sooner we get to work, the more lives we can save," Rasnetsov claims.
