Gecko-Inspired, High-Friction Microfibers
Inspired by the hairs that allow geckos to hang single-toed from sheer walls and scamper along ceilings, a UC Berkeley-led team of researchers has created an array of synthetic micro-fibers that uses very high friction to support loads on smooth surfaces without the stickiness found in adhesives. The fibers in the array, packed 42 million per square centimeter, are about 100 times thinner than a human hair.
