Researchers at University College London have created 'nanopasta,' a type of spaghetti 1,000 times thinner than a human hair, using a process called electrospinning. This ultra-thin pasta, made from starch-rich flour and formic acid, has potential applications in medicine, such as in bandages and drug delivery systems, due to its biodegradable nature. The study highlights a more sustainable method of producing nanofibers by using flour instead of purified starch, offering a promising avenue for future medical innovations.
