2018 • E39    Apr 30, 2018    5m
The oldest glue in the world is over 8,000 years old and comes from a cave near the Dead Sea. Today, we have enough types of tape and glue to build and repair almost anything. But what gives glue and tape their stickiness? And is one stronger than the other? Elizabeth Cox explores the world of adhesives.

Lesson by Elizabeth Cox, animation by Sinbad Richardson.
