Wall Climbing A Cinch
...geckos innovative foot design as a template to climb walls without any artificial adhesion. Tho it may not look like it, a geckos foot is hairy, fine enough to only be seen on the micro level. This molecular adhesion, combined with C-Bots array of ultrasonic sensors means costly (and ugly) scaffolding may be obsolete. Theoretically you can...

C-Bot Climbs Walls
...geckos innovative foot design as a template to climb walls without any artificial adhesion. It features a molecular adhesion that simulates a geckos foot (which is actually hairy, being fine enough to be seen on a micro level), working together with the C-Bots array of ultrasonic sensors. Will this make scaffolding obsolete in the long run?...

Here's how he rhapsodizes the inspiration for his invention: "The gecko has a very sophisticated hierarchical structure of compliant toes, microfibers, nanofibers and nanoattachment plates that...

New material will make us walk on our ceilings like a gecko.
...geckos to scoot across ceilings upside-down. and while it may be a long time, if ever, before this so-called smart gecko tape turns humans into wall-crawlers, Fearing says this technology could be used to make non slip shoe soles or bandages that cling to the skin but peel away without the ouch. The technology behind it is awe-inspiring...

Fake gecko skin could heal your guts
...geckos climb along the celing to help heal surgical wounds
A bandage is made of the new material which binds the incisions together and slowly dissolves after a few weeks, leaving the healed section without requiring re-opening to remove the tape
The material, which currently has the catchy name gecko-tape, is non-toxic and is metabolized by...

C-Bot scales buildings like a lizard, peeks at its cracks
...geckos and other wall-climbing lizards, the C-Bot's footpads are covered by tiny nano-hairs that act imperceptibly as adhesive to whatever surface it's climbing on to give it some grip. Then, with a sensor emitting ultrasonic rays, the C-Bot scans for all manner of defects, from rust to mildew
Sounds pretty groovy, right? Let's see where...
