To make a 10-µm thick flexible battery, researchers deposit battery materials onto a brittle mica substrate and then use sticky tape to peel the mica substrate away layer by layer. To make a 10-µm ...

There’s a certain patience required for studying sticky tape. Sure, sometimes experiments require peeling, but other times, researchers must simply sit around and wait for the adhesive to fail. These ...

Adhesive tape is turning out to be an unexpected scientific tool. It is already used to make graphene — a layer of carbon one atom thick that has remarkable electronic properties — by peeling the ...

A proprietary remote adhesive tape feed unit mounted on a robot or cobot is designed to handle repetitive, demanding and strenuous tape applications. The RoboTape System for 3M Tape includes a payout ...

Stuck on you: The new UV tape is able to transfer 2D materials, including graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides such as MoS2, onto a range of different substrates, including ceramic, glass and ...
