The device helps sensors stay on wet, moving places like the stomach or fish without power. It can help with health and ...

Inspired by a hitchhiking fish that uses a specialized suction organ to latch onto sharks and other marine animals, ...

A research team led by POSTECH professor Hyung Joon Cha revives surface adhesion in proteins by adding cysteine-rich protein of mussels. Adding cysteine-rich protein to conventional underwater ...

(Nanowerk News) Several marine organisms, such as mussels, secrete adhesive proteins that allow them to stick to different surfaces under sea water. This attractive underwater adhesion property has ...

The device can adhere to the lining of the GI tract, whose mucosal layer makes it very difficult to attach any kind of sensor ...

As a further proof of concept, the team used their octo-adhesive system to build an underwater cairn (rock pile) out of stones varying in size, shape, and surface roughness. The manipulation is ...

The first step was developing a basic octopus-inspired underwater adhesive system as proof of principle. For the adhesion, they designed silicone stalks capped with a pneumatically controlled ...

Here, researchers describe a strong underwater adhesive material that combines dynamic polymers based on TA with adhesion chemistry derived from mussels. The copolymer network of TA and TAC can be ...
