Ever needed a strong yet adhesive-free way to really stick PLA to glass? Neither have we, but nevertheless there’s a way to use aluminum foil and an IR fiber laser to get a solid bond with a ...

You can also achieve the same effect by using a self-adhesive aluminum foil shelf paper, like this one at Walmart ($12.92) that comes in several designs.

The gold-adhesive foil is detached from the silicon (F), allowing the silicon to be reused. The resulting gold foil is very flexible (G) and conductive; it can be used in flexible electronics.

The new technology—known as electrically induced adhesive debonding—involves encasing the battery in metal, rather than foil as it is currently.

Use Adhesive PCR foil (e.g Cat. # AB-0626, Thermo Fisher Scientific Abgene) only for shipments at room temperature and ground transportation. Make sure to attach the foil seal properly to each well by ...
