Direct fabrication of bio-inspired gecko-like geometries with vat polymerization additive manufacturing method

By WakoMorimoto On April 22, 2022 · Leave a Comment · In 2022 SP Team 34, 2022 SP Week 10, Researchers

Functional surfaces have proven their potential to solve many engineering problems, attracting great interest among the scientific community. Bio-inspired multi-hierarchical micro-structures grant the surfaces with new properties, such as hydrophobicity, adhesion, unique optical properties and so on. The geometry and fabrication of these surfaces are still under research. In this study, the feasibility of using […]

Wetting of the tarsal adhesive fluid determines underwater adhesion in ladybird beetles

By WakoMorimoto On February 25, 2022 · Leave a Comment · In 2022 SP Team 34, 2022 SP Week 04, Biological Discoveries

This article is about research on the ladybird beetle’s adhesive ability in the air and underwater. It was considered that the air bubbles underneath the pads of the legs would help them walk on high slope surface, but the team is testing out if that is actually the case.
