Gecko Glue
Watch out Spider-Man, make way for Gecko Man. U.K. researchers have developed an adhesive based on the gecko's sticky feet that they said could someday help humans scale walls. U.S. researchers discovered last year that tiny hairs called setae help the critters stick to surfaces. And adhesive developer Andrew Geim said geckos offer a more realistic model for scaling walls then spiders do. "Spider-Man is a fiction, the non-science one and will ever remain in comics. On the other hand, Gecko Man ... now it seems to be rather close to reality." A gecko using all of its setae could support 280 pounds. "If human palms were covered by this adhesive material," added Geim, "it would support the weight of an average human."
