Scientists Create Super Adhesive Inspired from Gecko Feet

Scientists Create Super Adhesive Inspired from Gecko Feet

A team of researchers from the University of Massachusetts Amherst have taken inspiration from a gecko climbing up a wall and subsequently created a super-strong adhesive material which is based closely on the feet of the wall-climbing lizard. Michael Bartless and his team from the university's science and engineering lab have been studying how geckos are able to run up and down smooth surfaces such as glass regardless of the angles at which the surfaces are at.
