MesoGlue - conductive glue

Electronics uses solder to bind components together on a circuit board.  But now, there is MesoGlue,  a new adhesive that could replace soldering.

Developed by scientists from the University of North Florida and Northeastern University, it’s a conductive glue that can attach items together with a metal bond without having to use high heat the way traditional soldering requires. 

Coined the metallic glue, it offers several advantages:
  • There is no risk of heat damage to components
  • The complexity of the soldering process is eliminated
  • Components are merely pressed on to attach

But how to you remove the glue to replace bad components - nobody knows.. haha
