Biologists have long been amazed by gecko feet, which allow 5-ounce lizards to produce an adhesive force equivalent to carrying 9 lbs. up a wall without slipping. Now, a team of polymer scientists and ...

Discovered: Glue from gecko feet, alcohol as a health food, sleeping your way to memory loss, and pregnant women should get dogs.

A team of scientists have created a credit card-thin 'geckskin' pad which can stick a 700-pound object to a smooth wall - using the same technique that lets geckos run straight up walls. The discovery ...

Would-be superheros have a cause for celebration, as the ability to walk up walls just got a little closer. Researchers have developed a nanotech superglue modeled on the minute structures on gecko ...

Geckos can stick to walls and zip across ceilings thanks to the adhesive properties of tiny nanoscale projections on their feet. By mimicking this nanotopography, an international team of scientists ...

What do mussels and geckos have in common? They're both super-sticky, and scientists have just announced a new glue based on the adhesive properties of both animals. The new glue, called "geckel ...

Geckos' feet are right up there with adhesive tape, when it comes to being able to stick to things. Unlike tape, however, those feet retain their adhesive qualities even after many, many uses. Now, ...

Discovered: Glue from gecko feet, alcohol as a health food, sleeping your way to memory loss, and pregnant women should get dogs.
