Bizarre new high-strength glue can stick and unstick on command. A sample of the new reversible adhesive was able to hold a 40-kg weight for a full 72-hour test without showing signs of weakening.

I work with hot melt adhesive and its machinery as my line of business, so I’m getting a kick out of this. It may take some digging, but you can find the MSDS for hot glue sticks.
