A scientist has successfully developed a Spiderman suit design which uses the self-cleaning, adhesive power of engineered molecules known as carbon nanotubes, resulting in gloves and boots that enable a person to stick to walls. While you won’t be able to dodge punches and bullets due to the lack of spider sense, some practical applications for this discovery include high rise construction workers wearing this during work, while astronauts will be able to move around in space with greater ease. The inspiration behind this amazing suit was not Marvel’s beloved character, but from geckos instead as they seem to have the innate ability to grip onto virtually any surface.
