"Gecko Gloves for humans"
  • Gecko Gloves for humans
  • Through the brilliance of biomimicry, researchers at the University of Manchester have produced a sticky tape covered in "billions of tiny plastic fibers which are similar to natural hairs covering the soles of geckos' feet." I love this quote from one of the researchers:


    • "We have also considered producing a large amount of gecko tape - sufficient amounts to enable a student to hang out of a window of a tall building. However it would cost too much money, and would not benefit us scientifically..."
