Spider combs tame unruly nanofibers - Headline Science

Inspired by special combs on some spiders’ legs, scientists reporting in ACS Applied Nano Materials have made a new tool to handle sticky nanofibers. ACS’ Headline Science shows how the researchers mimicked the spider comb’s non-stick nanostructure. “Biomimetic Combs as Antiadhesive Tools to Manipulate Nanofibers” –Anna-Christin Joel, Ph.D. (corresponding author) You might also like: Headline Science:
