Researchers specialising in nanotechnology have developed a glue that binds metal to metal to glass or to anything you-name-it, sets at room temperature, and requires little pressure to seal.

In a paper, published in the January issue of Advanced Materials & Processes, Hanchen Huang and colleagues, including Northeastern doctoral student Paul Elliott, describe their latest advances in the glue’s development.

They have also launched a startup and their company website declares: “MesoGlue was founded by Huang and two of his PhD students; they had a dream of a better way of sticking things together.
