Electrospinning

The world's thinnest spaghetti is 200 times thinner than a human hair, which means you'd have a hard time eating it. It's actually a nanofiber developed to help heal wounds. Besides, you'd probably overcook it in a second anyway.

Researchers have developed a biodegradable patch engineered from human cells that could be used to correct infant congenital heart defects, limiting the need for multiple invasive surgeries and outlasting current non-living, non-degradable patches.

Scientists claim that coating health food ingredients such as vitamins and nutrients in nanofibers, created through a process called electrospinning, can serve to better protect them as they pass through the digestive system.
