(Nanowerk News) Watch a gecko walk up a wall. It defies gravity as it sticks to the surface no matter how smooth it appears to be. What's happening isn't magic. The gecko stays put because of the ...

In the International Journal of Extreme Manufacturing, researchers fabricate 3D hydrogel-based biomimetic Turing nanowrinkled ...

Researchers have demonstrated a novel way to inscribe microscopic patterns on living organisms, using the resilient tardigrade as a model. The study, published in Nano Letters, explores a technique ...

We've already seen antibacterial surfaces that kill microbes on contact, but scientists in the UK have recently gone a different and potentially more effective route. They've created maze-like surface ...

Surface metrology consists of the measurement of surface features such as roughness, regular patterns, irregularities, and waviness. The importance of this lies in the quality of materials and ...

Diverging and converging patterns forming on the surface of solidifying liquid metals resemble plotlines in a complex historical novel, in a new international study. The cyclic patterns observed are ...
