Geckskin

We all know gecko's fingers stick to our walls. Since about 2000, scientists have cracked the secret of how geckos are able to perform extraordinary climbing antics. The researchers confirmed that tiny intermolecular forces - so called van der Waals forces - were produced by literally billions of tiny hair-like structures, or spatulae, on each gecko toe.

These forces, which arise when unbalanced electrical charges around molecules attract one another, allow the animal to scurry up walls and even hang upside down on polished glass.
Now, the researchers have managed to create an artificial version of the spatulae. A team from the University of Massachusetts to invent Geckskin, an extremely powerful reusable adhesive that leaves behind no sticky residue. The device is 16 inches square and can support up to 700 pounds on a smooth surface such as glass or a wall.

In the following video, the team would explain how it works and its amazing adhesive abilities. 

Well, thank you little gecko for inspiring the new technology!
