Scotsman.com News - Weird, odd and quirky stories - 'Synthetic Gecko' material paves the way for real-life Spider-Men: "Story in full SOLDIERS and spies of the future could be given special 'Spider-Man' suits, enabling them to climb up sheer surfaces and even stick to the ceiling, according to a leading British engineering firm.
BAE Systems has developed a material that closely mimics the feet of a gecko lizard, which can scale vertical glass and other slippery surfaces with ease.
The research is still at an early stage but the firm said 'infantry climbing suits' could be made out of the material, giving the troops gecko-like abilities."
