Geckos inspire new method to print electronics on complex surfaces

Monday, September 20, 2010 - 20:21 in Physics & Chemistry

Geckos are masters at sticking to surfaces of all kinds and easily unsticking themselves. Inspired by these lizards, a team of engineers has developed a reversible adhesion method for printing electronics on a variety of tricky surfaces such as clothes, plastic and leather. The stamp can easily pick up electronic devices from a silicon surface and print them on a curved surface.
