THE GEKO BRA!!! # ANIMAL INSPIRED FASHION.
A gecko's toe consists of a microscopic hierarchical structure of stalk-like setae - 100 microns in length, 2 microns in radius.
From individual setae, a bundle of hundreds of terminal tips called spatulae - approximately 200 nanometers in diameter at their widest - branch out and contact the climbing surface.
These hairs create an electrostatic force known as Van der Waals.
It causes neighbouring molecules to be attracted to each other.
Although very weak, the effect is multiplied by thousands of tiny hairs that cover a gecko's toes, allowing them to stick firmly to surfaces. Read how the geko provided the raw material for this adhesive bra!.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3315822/Women-rejoice-Finally-strapless-bra-stays-inspired-GECKO-FEET.html
