That is awesome!!! If they could make gecko tape more long lasting, then making movies would be so much easier, without all those wires that they use nowadays

I wish that I could climb on the ceilings with gecko tape! With one piece of gecko tape I can hang to the ceiling with one hand. Although the tape isn't very sticky after a while, I hope they make a better version so that it sticks longer. Maybe in ten years I'll be able to hang from the ceiling like in movies.

Wow. They are developing tape that sticks to walls!!! This could change the way we get around. Imagine gecko tape on car tires and a lane on the roof of a tunnel!!! It would be the end of log jams!!! But the only problem about it is it's not very long lasting. I hope that some day they will perfect the idea

I have a gecko, so i have seen the odd patters on his feet, but i never knew that it was actually poking into my molecules! It's amazing that we are able to reconstruct something that powerful!

That would be so cool if I could do that. Sometimes I wonder if there is a way to do that, and so I guess there is! I hope someday I'll be able to do that!

this is cool but if someone sold it on the black market then bad guys could just use it to climb up a building or stick it on a security camera so we have to be careful

WOW! I want to hang from the ceiling!!!!NOW! That is such a cool scientific discovery! Plus, I love the way it sounds. Gecko tape forever! Plus plus, that stuff would result in some pretty awesome movies with everything upside down! Nature can be so interesting. Don't you like saying, "Gecko"? I love it! It's so fun! The way that the microscopic fibers allow you to stick is fun too! Plus plus plus, I loved the picture. If I ever get some gecko tape, I will put it on the bottom of my horse toys and stick them to the underside of my bunk bed! That would freak out my sister! The article was a good length, too. I'm going to go do some research on gecko tape now!
