Synthetic gecko tape is a new technology inspired by the stickiness of the feet of the wall-climbing lizard, and it's a new tool for industrial/manufacturing engineers. Why? The extremely strong adhesive is capable of sticking to many surfaces, including Teflon. Because it eliminates the need for soldering in some applications, and can be used with newer, lighter materials, it cuts production costs.
