Unlocking the secret of what makes mussels so strong may lead to medical advances in bio-implants, wearable sensors, and more.

The little tube feet of sea urchins lose their grip when the water loses salinity, something that climate change is causing more often.

Drawing inspiration from flatworms and mussels, researchers have created a medical adhesive that stops blood loss and could save lives.

Researchers have figured out how to use ultrasound and bubbles to make medical adhesive bandages stickier and last longer—even on wet skin.

"FarmHand" combines adhesives based on gecko toes and a customized robotic hand for dexterity and strength, researchers report.

Every year, 3.5 million metric tons of diapers end up in landfills. A new process recycles them into materials similar to gooey adhesives in sticky notes.

The "gecko gripper," equipped with grippy but not sticky adhesives, could prove well-suited for space tasks such as collecting debris and fixing satellites.

Researchers have created a process that turns plastic bags into a tough adhesive. The work could fix an issue with recycling plastic into cheaper products.

The availability of iron in increasingly acidic oceans could change how creatures like mussels make their adhesives, research finds.

A new technique that mirrors how scientists make graphene with lasers uses sticky tape to improve lithium metal batteries.
