> Perhaps no startup was launched for a more intriguing reason than
> that of Northeastern's Hanchen Huang. From the company website:
>
> "MesoGlue was founded by Huang and two of his PhD students: They had
> a dream of a better way of sticking things together."
>
> Those "things" are everything from a computer's central processing
> unit and a printed circuit board to the glass and metal filament in a
> light bulb. The "way" of attaching them is, astonishingly, a glue
> made out of metal that sets at room temperature and requires very
> little pressure to seal. "It's like welding or soldering but without
> the heat," says Huang, who is professor and chair in the Department
> of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering.
>
> In a new paper, published in the January issue of Advanced Materials
> & Processes, Huang and colleagues, including Northeastern doctoral
> student Paul Elliott, describe their latest advances in the glue's
> development. Our curiosity was piqued: Soldering with no heat? We
> asked Huang to elaborate.
