"Electricity-Enabled Material Adhesion: A Shocking Scientific Breakthrough"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Interesting Engineering
Researchers at the University of Maryland have discovered a method to bind hard and soft materials together using electricity instead of tape or glue. By applying a small voltage, the materials can be strongly bound, and the charge can be reversed to unbind them. This breakthrough could offer a new approach to attaching materials without the use of traditional adhesives.
