The glove could be a valuable tool for rescue divers, underwater archaeologists, user-assisted technologies, and in health care.

Since then, similar adhesive proteins have been discovered in a variety of organisms, including marine species, snails, and spiders. However, the precise mechanism behind EGF-based underwater ...

Now, scientists at Virginia Tech have tapped into this ability to create a new type of adhesive that could revolutionize ...

At the end of each thread is a disc-shaped plaque that acts as an underwater glue. The unusual qualities of the glue and the byssal threads have interested people since ancient times, when the ...
