For their new work, the researchers focused on a chemical motif that appears in mussel adhesives: a bond between two chemical groups known as "catechols" and "thiols." In the mussel's natural glue ...

The euglena-derived adhesive in film form Testing the strength of the new adhesive. The harvested euglena dense with paramylon. Euglena researcher SHIBAKAMI hopes for a range of new products.

Tesla says it will fix the sticky issue—which could cause panels to detach from trucks while driving—with a new adhesive “not ...

These tenacious adhesive structures have prompted scientists in recent years to design similar bioinspired, waterproof adhesives. Now engineers from MIT and Freie Universität Berlin have developed a ...

Taking advantage of two types of catechol-thiol bonds gave the new adhesive the strengths of both. By synthesizing their own mussel glue and combining it with the proteins in mucus, the ...

It’s hard to get glue to work underwater – unless you’re a mussel. Scientists have now created a new adhesive that combines the stickiness of mussel’s natural glue with the slimy ...
