Prompt Title: Just a bit of research

If it were possible to change the fundamental forces between atoms, such as the electromagnetic force or the strong and weak nuclear forces, it could potentially change the behavior of those atoms when they come into contact. However, it's important to note that these forces are fundamental properties of the universe and they are deeply interconnected. Changing one force would likely have significant consequences for other forces and the behavior of matter at the atomic scale.

Moreover, even if it were possible to change the fundamental forces in a way that allowed atoms to interlock or merge upon contact, this would likely require a fundamental re-engineering of matter at a very basic level, and it is not clear whether it would be feasible or practical to do so.

In summary, while changing the fundamental forces could hypothetically change the behavior of atoms, it is not clear whether it would be possible or practical to engineer matter at a fundamental level to enable atoms to interlock upon contact.
