Stanford Engineer Uses Gecko-Inspired Adhesive to Climb Like Spider-Man

In a recent episode of The Late Show, Stephen Colbert commented on a discovery made by zoologists from the University of Cambridge that Spider-Man probably couldn't climb walls. After intensive research, the zoologists found that natural adhesives scale in a way that geckos are the largest animals that can stick to walls and climb vertical surfaces.

Study Reveals Geckos as the ‘Size Limit’ for Sticking to Walls

A recent study discusses why the largest animal capable of scaling vertical and smooth walls is the gecko. According to scientists, humans can walk on walls like Spiderman, but only with the help of adhesive pads covering 40% of the body’s surface. Scientists believe that their discovery provide a feasibility for large-scale, gecko-like adhesives.
