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.

Researchers Develop 3D Printing Technique for Composite Materials

The study exhibits a unique method, using ultrasonic waves to accurately position a huge number of tiny reinforcement fibers as part of the 3D printing process. The fibers form a microscopic reinforcement framework to provide the material strength, a focused laser beam is then used to position this microstructure. Finally, the epoxy resin is cured and the object is printed.
