A side view provided by a scanning electron microscope shows that the structural integrity of the carbon nanotube adhesive holds up after exposure to 1033 degrees Celsius. Disclaimer: AAAS and ...
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 ...
Inspired by the feet of the gecko lizard, researchers have tweaked a conventional plasma etching chamber so that it can make reusable adhesives that could have applications in the semiconductor ...
Using gecko-inspired hand pads created by these scientists ... support themselves and then improved on that already-powerful adhesive ability. Gecko feet are covered in tiny little bristles ...
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 ...
The system’s tentacle-like arms are equipped with gecko-inspired adhesive pads, a design that mimics the remarkable ability of geckos to cling to surfaces. This technology could revolutionise ...
