English researchers has developed a super sticky tape that mimics the mechanism used by lizards to climb nearly any surface.
One square centimeter of the new adhesive contains millions of plastic fibres, similar to those clingy hairs that cover the soles of gecko's feet. In addition to potentially allowing folks to scale walls spider-man-style, this new technology scientists say, will have many applications, providing the necessary residue-free stickum for everything from computer chips in vacuum environments to tissues in need of rejoining during surgery.
