Fiery Foils Could Create New Way Of Welding

Researchers at Johns Hopkins University have developed a new form of welding using highly reactive metallic films, which can bond objects at their surfaces without damaging the rest. This process is self-propagating and exothermic, requiring no oxygen to operate, making it suitable for use under water or in airless outer space.
