Waterproof Superglue May Be Strongest in Nature
Bacterial adhesive is 2-3 times stronger than common commercial glues
The glue one species of water-loving bacteria uses to grip its surroundings may be the strongest natural adhesive known to science. If engineers can find a way to mass-produce the material, it could have uses in medicine, marine technology and a range of other applications. http://technology-post.com/tech/inde...est-in-nature/ |

Probably the same one who hooked the jet engine to his dental drill on "Hennessey" a few years earlier. -- --John to email, dial "usenet" and validate (was jclarke at eye bee em dot net) |
