YUH!
We’ve breathed the same old way for far too long — it was high time for an update. Initially, it will be an emergency medical solution, but perhaps someday a workaround for living in a hopelessly polluted world...
Scientists have invented particles able to keep a person alive even if they are unable to breathe. The breakthrough treatment works by oxygenating the blood through an injection that can keep someone alive for up to 30 minutes even if they are unable to breath at all and could save thousands of lives. The injected particles contain oxygen within a layer of natural molecules known as lipids.
Previous attempts at developing a treatment of this nature had failed because the injections caused a gas embolism rather than oxygenation of the cells. ”We have engineered around this problem by packaging the gas into small, deformable particles,” said scientist John Kheir.
This may seem like something out of a science fiction movie: researchers have designed microparticles that can be injected directly into the bloodstream to quickly oxygenate your body, even if you can't breathe anymore.

This has the potential to save hundreds of thousands of lives world wide.
What we'r looking at is probably a future Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

guys/gals, wait a minute. think of the implications! this could be used on so many different levels! space travel (hypersleep), terraforming planets with little (or no) oxygen, cryogenics without the freezing, improved oxygenation of the body for rapid cell repair....

wonder if this technology can be used for diving without scuba equipment? probably works only to the safety margin of approx. 6 meters, but still
