Great news, but does anyone else get Nanites/Grey Goo vibes from this?
- More worried by the sci fi like future.
  Where this stuff evolves into something that looks to hunt mankind. Due to the micro plastics we all have in our bodies.
  Huge black fungus blobs rolling up the beach. Covering sun bathers and slowly absorbing the living body over decades.
  
  Plastic is stored in the balls.
  
  So "P" was short for "Plastic" all along!
