Obviously they came to Physics at Manchester for some answers: famously, graphene was created here by carefully separating layers of pencil graphite with sticky tape (that&#8217;s why Professor Andre Geim&#8217;s tape dispenser <a href=\"http:\/\/journal.sciencemuseum.org.uk\/browse\/issue-10\/from-2d-to-3d\/sticky-tape-dispenser\/\">is in the Museum of Science &amp; Industry<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>Before they could get to the cutting edge of advanced materials, though, the presenters found out about how Neanderthals invented glue and how the structure of geckos&#8217; feet allows them to walk up walls.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-349 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sites.se.manchester.ac.uk\/physics-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/10\/ivan-1024x1011.jpg\" alt=\"Dr Ivan Marun\" width=\"238\" height=\"235\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sites.se.manchester.ac.uk\/physics-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/10\/ivan-1024x1011.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.sites.se.manchester.ac.uk\/physics-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/10\/ivan-300x296.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sites.se.manchester.ac.uk\/physics-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/10\/ivan-768x758.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sites.se.manchester.ac.uk\/physics-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/10\/ivan.jpg 1114w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 238px) 100vw, 238px\" \/>It was all fascinating stuff, but how does it work? One of the experts on hand to help the presenter get to grips (&#8230;sorry) with the science of stickiness was Dr Ivan Vera Marun, who&#8217;s a lecturer in Condensed Matter Physics in our department. He told the story behind the discovery of graphene and explained how it&#8217;s Van der Waals forces between surfaces cause things to stick together &#8211; including geckos and ceilings.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, materials scientists are taking inspiration from the gecko to make new kinds of robots.<\/p>\n<p>Ivan explains: &#8220;One application of van der Waals forces that is inspired from nature, is the replication of gecko\u2019s stickiness in small robots that can climb walls or easily grip objects.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Here, engineers develop artificial membranes with arrays of microfibers modelled on gecko\u2019s toes, which form part of the \u2018feet and hands\u2019 of the robot. This is an active line of research and development that enables robots to perform advanced skills like handling complex objects with the right combination of force and delicacy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Find out more<\/h2>\n<p>You can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/sounds\/play\/w3cszv68\">listen to the show on the BBC&#8217;s website<\/a> &#8211; it&#8217;s also available on BBC Sounds or wherever you get your podcasts (look for CrowdScience episode #204, &#8216;What makes stuff sticky?&#8217;)<\/p>\n<p>Read more about climbing robots with this article from <em>Science<\/em>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencemag.org\/news\/2017\/05\/gecko-inspired-gripper-could-help-robots-climb-walls\">Gecko-inspired gripper could help robots climb walls<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h6>Gecko image by <a href=\"https:\/\/pixabay.com\/users\/skitterphoto-324082\/?utm_source=link-attribution&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=image&amp;utm_content=800887\">Rudy and Peter Skitterians<\/a> and sticky notes header image by <a href=\"https:\/\/pixabay.com\/users\/monfocus-2516394\/?utm_source=link-attribution&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=image&amp;utm_content=1925752\">Monfocus<\/a>, both from <a href=\"https:\/\/pixabay.com\/?utm_source=link-attribution&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=image&amp;utm_content=1925752\">Pixabay<\/a><\/h6>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What have geckos got to do with graphene?
