Forums / News / Researchers develop Spider-Man gloves

uh, I'm actually not sure how a glove of this materila could work. I'm not big on science, but a simple question is actually moving your hands if it's so sticky. And furthermore, I thought geckos used static eletricity. Sorry, but this doesn't quite add up to me.

You see xdeath5, geckos actually have special microscophic hairs on the bottom of thier feet. This allows them to attatch themselves to walls and cielings. They are designed so that one can easily move thier hand/foot foreward, to release it. Otherwise, the gecko could effortlessly stay there. The same goes for these Spider-Man Gloves. they have the same designed hairs on a gecko's feet. That is how these things work. Does that answer your question?
