Geckskin - Will rock your world :)

BRT has talked about Geckos, small lizards able to climb just about anything using molecular adhesion at atomic level (via van der Waal forces) to attain great "stickiness" yet permitting easy release from same when said gecko moves on to snag another fly. With this knowledge in hand, really smart people from US Mass/Amherst will be introducing a radical new product called Geckskin once they get the manufacturing part down. For yours truly, I can't wait to use this product. 

Geckskin™ is composed of stiff fabrics—such as carbon fiber or Kevlar—with soft elastomers, such as polyurethane or polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). It uses commodity materials, not nanotechnology. The key innovation of Geckskin™ was the integration of a soft elastomer (the pad) with a stiff fabric (the skin), allowing the pad to drape over a surface to maximize contact. Further, as in natural gecko feet, the skin is woven into a synthetic tendon, yielding a design that plays a key role in maintaining stiffness and rotational freedom. The end result is an adhesive device that is powerful, easily removed, and leaves no residue.

Spiderman awaits. :)
