Breakthrough in Underwater Adhesion Technology
Researchers have developed a new adhesive surface inspired by the remora fish. This fish is famous for its ability to stick to sharks and other sea creatures. Engineers designed the adhesive to work effectively underwater, where traditional adhesives struggle.
Tested in Demanding Conditions
The team tested the adhesive inside the digestive tract, a challenging environment due to moisture and constant movement. The new surface mimics the remora’s suction disc, creating a strong, yet easily removable, bond. This technology opens new possibilities for medical devices and underwater repairs. You can expect to see safer, more reliable solutions for surgeries and industrial applications in the near future.
