Scientists stick materials with electricity in a shocking discovery | By passing small electric charge, different types of materials can be bound together firmly. The attraction can be reversed with ease.

By passing small electric charge, different types of materials can be bound together firmly. The attraction can be reversed with ease.

When two or more materials need to be attached, it is common to use tape or adhesive glue. While the tape can hold it together temporarily, glue makes for a more permanent binding of materials. This is achieved through electrostatic and mechanical forces between the materials and the glue.
