Scientists have finally done something really useful.
A team in Italy have come up with a formula for a suit which will allow the wearer to scale a wall and hang upside down, just like Spiderman. The formula is based on natural technology that enables spiders and lizards to stick to concrete and glass. It would work by coating the gloves and boots with structures called carbon nanotubes that mimic the hairs on a gecko’s foot. Obviously its very much still a work in progress, but how cool is that, we could soon be sticking to buildings.
