This "promising first step" could help to treat bladder, oral, head and neck tumors more effectively, said biomedical engineer Wyatt Shields.

In contrast, if one were to somehow try climbing walls with real gecko feet, a climber weighing about 155 lbs. (70 kg) would require a sticky surface at least 186 square inches (1,200 square ...

Scientists developed climbing pads by mimicking the biomechanics of gecko feet. Geckos are capable of climbing vertical walls owing to the presence of very tiny hair-like strands on the bottom of ...
