They did this show on the Science Channel called "Weird Connections" and they had some prof from Akron (name escapes me) who is actually able to build a geko-like material that can support something like 150x its weight.

This is a great story in general, but the coolest part might be missed by many casual readers.

As this article demonstrates, we are seeing more and more examples of interdisciplinary and interdepartmental collaboration in cutting-edge research at UA. Indeed, the new Integrated Bio-science Ph.D. program is all about bringing research in various disciplines to bear in a comprehensive way and offering gifted students like Alyssa Stark the chance to customize her doctoral studies across several disciplines... in this case Biology and Polymer Science. But the possibilities for bright students are almost endless.

Go Zips!

By the way. Ali Dhinojwala and Pete Niewiarowski are not only world-class scientists. They're both really nice, down-to-earth people. Man, we're lucky to have faculty like them!

Eat our dirt, Can't State! ;)

I don't see why they ever had to ban Stickem. It makes the game more entertaining....lots more spectacular one-handed catches and picks !
