Blue Mussels: The Original SuperglueSolving the puzzle of bonding to wet surfaces
From the show
Nature Solved It FirstNature solved the challenge of underwater adhesion long before engineers did. By mimicking the proteins blue mussels use to anchor themselves in turbulent seas, scientists created a non-toxic surgical glue. This innovation allows doctors to seal internal injuries without sutures, proving that the best design solutions often come from the ocean floor.
