General Motors researchers have made an extremely strong adhesive that comes apart when heated. The adhesive is 10 times stickier than Velcro and the reusable gecko-inspired glues that many research groups have been trying to perfect. The polymers in the glue bond to each other within minutes when they are initially heated. Thus, when two …
