    a) Coated rods are arranged along a sub­strate, like angled teeth on a comb. b) The teeth are then inter­laced. c) When indium and galium come into con­tact, they form a liquid. d) The metal core of the rods turns that liquid into a solid. The resulting glue pro­vides the strength and thermal/​electrical con­duc­tance of a metal bond. From “Advanced Mate­rials & Processes,” Jan­uary 2016

    Experts in nanotechnology have developed a glue that binds metal to metal to glass to you-name-it, sets at room temp, and requires little pressure to seal. “MesoGlue was founded by Huang and two of his PhD stu­dents: They had a dream of a better way of sticking things together...
