BAE Systems has developed a material which mimics the feet of a gecko lizard. Gecko can easily climb vertical glass and other slippery surfaces. The research is still at an early stage of this research, but the leading British engineering firm said that soldiers and spies of the future can be given a special “Spider-Man” suit which enables them to climb up the wall and even stick to the ceiling. BAE Systems spokesman confirmed that a “government organization” is interested in using the gecko material for a “particular covert application” connected to surveillance. The gecko’s foot is covered with tiny hairs which are so small. These tiny hairs will merge with molecules of things that they touch. It is incredibly strong bond in most directions but can also be easily peeled off.
