- As Sticky as a Gecko - but Ten Times Stronger!Successful construction of a gecko-inspired adhesive that is ten times stronger than a gecko, at about 100 newtons per square centimeter.
- Ripple Effect: Water Snails Offer New Propulsion PossibilitiesAn engineer has revealed a new mode of propulsion based on how water snails create ripples of slime to crawl upside down beneath the surface.
- So-called 'sandfish' could help materials handling and process technology specialistsAfrican lizard is inspiring materials scientists on new ways to design ultra-efficient non-resistant surfaces
- Models of eel cells suggest electrifying possibilitiesApplying modern engineering design tools to one of the basic units of life, they argue that artificial cells could be built that not only replicate the electrical behavior of electric eel cells but in fact improve on them.
- Coating copies microscopic biological surfacesResearchers have developed a method to rapidly and inexpensively copy biological surface structures.
- New gecko-like adhesive shakes off dirtResearchers create first adhesive that cleans itself after each use without the need for water or chemicals, much like the remarkable hairs found on the gecko lizard's toes.
