Summary:
- Researchers have developed a new bio-engineered super glue that sets a new strength record, potentially transforming the $50 billion adhesives industry.
- The glue, inspired by the natural adhesive properties of mussels, is made from proteins and can bond to a wide range of materials, including metals, plastics, and ceramics.
- The super glue is significantly stronger than commercial adhesives, with a tensile strength up to 22 megapascals, and has potential applications in fields like aerospace, construction, and medical devices.
