While human-made devices inspired by gecko feet have emerged in recent years, enabling their wearers to slowly scale a glass wall, the possible applications of gecko-adhesion technology go far beyond ...

With Season 2 shipping worldwide, Playtiles offers a complete ecosystem - physical controls, app and indie games - ...

A team of German researchers have created an adhesive pad inspired by the sticky feet of geckos that unsticks from objects when triggered by ultraviolet light. The pad could lead to robotic fingers ...

that mimics all aspects of a gecko’s foot. In today’s Science, researchers have published their description of the fabrication The mechanisms for adhesion and the concepts that inspired this latest ...

Berkeley -- A new anti-sliding adhesive developed by engineers at the University of California, Berkeley, may be the closest man-made material yet to mimic the remarkable gecko toe hairs that allow ...

Biomedical engineers have married the gecko's adhesive ability with that of an animal well known for its sticking power underwater: the mussel. Combining the important elements of gecko and mussel ...

Germany scientists say they're closer to understanding how geckos climb walls, walk upside down across ceilings and perform other feats of adherence. The scientists at the Max Planck Institute for ...

Scientists have developed a new adhesive material based on the properties of mussels and gecko lizard. The researchers say the biomimetic design could produce more durable and longer-lasting bandages, ...

A gecko scampering up a wall or across a ceiling has long fascinated scientists and encouraged them to investigate how to harness lizard's mysterious ability to defy gravity. While human-made devices ...
