Researchers at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Boston Children’s Hospital, and MIT have developed a new type of elastic glue that cures after being exposed to light for 5 seconds. Jeffrey Karp, associate professor of medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Robert S. Langer, senior lecturer on surgery at HMS, invented the glue and recently published a paper with Pedro del Nido, the William E. Ladd Professor of Child Surgery at Boston Children’s Hospital, about the technology.
