Stick it - with gecko 'glue'


Scientists come up with Geckskin, a reusable adhesive.

A TEAM of scientists at the University of Massachusetts has developed a new, reusable adhesive based on the feet of the gecko – the lizard that licks its own eyeballs and climbs up walls. Around 60% of gecko species have adhesive toe pads and these pads were the inspiration for Geckskin, a device that can attach and detach from materials and surfaces repeatedly.
