In the course of evolution nature has arrived at startling materials solutions to ensure
survival. Investigations into biological surfaces, ranging from plants, insects and geckos to …

In nature, many organisms are able to accommodate a complex living environment by
developing biological wet adhesive surfaces with unique functions such as fixation and …

Despite extensive efforts to mimic the fascinating adhesion capability of geckos, the
development of reversible adhesives underwater has long been lagging. The appearance of …

Abstract Three‐dimensional (3D) bioprinting is driving significant innovations in biomedicine
over recent years. Under certain scenarios such as in intraoperative bioprinting, the bioinks …

Stable and reversible adhesion to wet surfaces is challenging owing to water molecules at
the contact interface. In this study, we develop a hydrogel-based wet adhesive, which can …

The rapid growth in the miniaturized mechanical and electronic devices industry has created
the need for temporary attachment systems that can carry out pick‐and‐place and transfer …

Biomaterial surfaces tend to adhere only under dry conditions, preventing them from being
used in underwater environments such as body fluids. Therefore, biomaterial surfaces with …

Underwater or wet adhesion is highly desirable for numerous applications but is
counteracted by the liquids in the contact which weaken intermolecular attraction. The …

Our artificial bioinspired adhesive patch is inspired by two different biological creatures in
one design, which consists of a densely packed hexagonal tree-frog pad embedded with …
