In the latest experiments, the nanofiber gel appeared to strengthen these weak areas of the heart.

Jayesh Doshi, the president and largest shareholder, has two machines--one 150 feet long, the other 75--making nanofiber.

FORBES: Back on Track

The next step for the team is testing the nanofiber spheres in larger animals, then in humans.

They look bulky but weigh little, because he constructs them from lightweight materials such as titanium, carbon nanofiber and alusic (a blend of aluminum and silicon carbide).

FORBES: What Makes Mille Tick

While we've seen a few snazzy band-aids in our day, not to mention talking first aid kits, a nanofiber bandage that can heal typical skin wounds faster is about to go mainstream.

ENGADGET: Nanofiber bandages slated to heal en masse next year

Given the presumed popularity of the quick-healing bandages, the team is continuing to work on other "nanofiber products" in their spare time, hoping that the mending aid is just the beginning of a long line of sweet nano-based products to come.

When the nanofiber spheres, which are slightly bigger than the cells they carry, degrade at the wound site, the cells they are carrying have already gotten a good start growing because the nanofiber spheres provide an environment in which the cells naturally thrive.
