U.S. scientists have used inexpensive store-bought tape to craft a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG), which is capable of ...

Scotch tape can be used to remove the upper layers ... Around the lab this can be pretty handy. While the adhesive is not conductive, making it less attractive for connection parts, I’ve found ...

R&D spending as a percentage of sales has remained stable at around 6% for the last two decades, but its return on research capital has wavered in recent years.

We were always amused that one of the biggest scientific discoveries of the recent past — graphene — was started with pencil lead and Scotch tape. Now, researchers at the University of Alabama ...

Illustration of the Scotch tape method for isolating graphene. A piece of graphite is placed on adhesive tape, which is then folded over and peeled apart repeatedly to cleave the graphite into thinner ...

The ends of two metal rods were glued together using 3M glue called Scotch-Weld Instant Adhesive. The rods were used to lift and hold up a forklift weighing 17,857pounds (over 8 tons) for one hour!
