(Phys.org)—A multinational team of researchers that recently published a paper describing how they had used a scanning electron microscope to discover that gecko skin actually ejects water into the air has now published another paper where they have advanced their research on gecko skin even further. In their new paper published in Acta Biomaterialia, the team describes how they tested the liquid ejection abilities of box-patterned geckos with a variety of fluids and then discovered a bacteria killing capability as well.
