Scientists have been fascinated by geckos’ abilities to cling onto countless surfaces. After years of research, certain attributes of their biological compositions have led scientists to pinpoint how geckos achieve this remarkable feat. Now, scientists are working to develop “surface architectures that could improve the safety and reliability of tires.” It is fascinating how nature extends into the technological developments taking place today.
