Editorial Reviews

Review

"This slim, straightforward title in the new Imitating Nature series introduces the fascinating science involved in producing an equivalent to spider silk." (Booklist )


Product Description

The scientists of the Gecko Team have solved the age-old mystery of gecko climbing and sticking power. Geometry, not chemistry, was the answer. They are using their newfound knowledge to invent "gecko tape" that will stick anywhere and never lose its adhesive quality. Move over, Spiderman!
