Bioinspired material transports micro-objects

Adhesive mechanisms in the natural world, as used by geckos and other animals when they walk upside down on the ceiling, have many advantages: they are always strongly adhesive -- and without any glues or residues. Scientists at Kiel University are researching how these mechanisms can be artificially created. An interdisciplinary research team from Materials Science, Chemistry and Biology has now succeeded in developing a bioinspired adhesive mat...

Gecko-inspired adhesives attach and detach using UV light

A team of researchers at Kiel University has developed technology that emulates the way a gecko uses its toes to cling to flat surfaces. In their paper published Science Robotics, the team describes their adhesive, how well it works and possible applications. Geckos are famous for their ability to walk up flat surfaces such as glass with little apparent effort—this ability has fascinated scientists for many years, inciting some to atte...

Reproducing functional principles of the brain with the use of technology

A research team from Kiel led by Professor Hermann Kohlstedt, Head of the Nanoelectronics Department at Kiel University and spokesman of the national collaborative research project "Memristive devices for neural systems", funded by the German Research Foundation, aim to track this impressive efficiency of the human brain using technology and to implement its method of operation in artificial neural networks.
