Inspired by the super-sticky power in the hair on gecko feet, researchers have created an adhesive so unusual that it can be used in conditions as cold as outer space or hot as molten ...

To substantiate their claims of Geckskin's properties, the UMass Amherst team compared three versions to the abilities of a living Tokay gecko on several surfaces. As predicted by their theory ...

It’s the result of years of academic research that Kerst built on by inventing a method to mass-manufacture the adhesive. Inspired by the way real-life gecko feet grip surfaces, you could think ...

But now news comes from Stanford University of a dry adhesive based on the same principle a gecko uses to walk up a wall. Gecko feet have microscopic flaps that stick to surfaces because of Van ...

These geckos have adapted their webbed feet not only to help them stay atop ... They move surprisingly quickly across the sand, and adhesive pads on their toes make them excellent climbers.
