Coming unstuck with DNA A DNA-based glue has been developed by scientists at the University of Illinois, US. The adhesive uses DNA base pair mimics that bind to each other more strongly than their natural counterparts and may lead to glues far more powerful than Super Glue. mark for My Articles similar articles
