Scientists at The University of Massachusetts Amherst campus have take the dream of re-usable tape another step in the continued development of an adhesive that uses the concept that lets the gecko hold on to vertical surfaces.
This is not a new idea, but scientists Michael Bartlett and Duncan Irschick have a prototype that will hold a weight of up to 700 lbs. using just a few square inches of a proprietary fabric.
Applying and removing the re-usable fabric is simple and it leaves no adhesive residue.
The Amhearst researchers credit their most recent advance to having expanded the study of the gecko from just its skin to understanding the whole foot structure-tendons, bones and skin.
