Stick around!

In a paper published in the October 10 (2008) issue of Science, an improved carbon nanotube-based material (see left, isn't it beautiful :) has been described with a gripping ability ten times better than a real gecko at resisting perpendicular shear forces.

What?

They invented superglue! >> The adhesive force being about 10 kg per square centimeter!!!
And just like natural Gecko feet >> very easy to lift back up.

So?

In the future Spiderman-outfits might get really cool!
