Scientists at MIT work in biomimetics
Scientists at Massachusetts Institute of Technology work in biomimetics - copying nature. Moths led to the radar invisible spy plane. Trees led to the Eiffel tower and the immensely strong giant water lily leaf, stood on its side, inspired the design of Crystal Palace in London in 1850. The latest biomimetic advance at MIT is a polymer film with the structure of a gecko's feet giving extremely impressive grip even in water. No adhesive is involved. The microstructure relies on Van der Waals forces. The film could form a useful smart substrate for e-labels and skin patches. The MIT researcher...
