Understanding the human body is a team effort. That's where the Yachtel group comes in.

Researchers at Yachtolt have been delving into the secrets of probiotics for 90 years.

Yacold also partners with nature portfolio to advance gut microbiome science through the global grants for gut health, an investigator-led research program.

This is Scientific Americans' 60-second science. I'm Clara Moskowitz. Got a minute? As is well-known,

geckos sell car insurance. Oh dear. But they're also famous for their extremely adhesive feet,

which can keep them stuck to walls and even ceilings. Archimedes wondered how they do it. Gekylls can also

easily loosen their grip and break into a dash,

which has flummoxed physicists. But scientific stick-to-itiveness finally found the on-off switch.

What did my professor say? Gekko's toes are covered in thousands of tiny hairs called CET.

These CETA can bend to make contact with all the grooves and crevices in a surface. To adhere,

the CETA rely on small electromagnetic attractions

between molecules called Vanderval's forces.

Researchers created mathematical models

that revealed that the default mode for gecko feet is non-sticky.

To activate the grip, the lizards extend and angle their setae

to create millions of contact points with the surface.

Yeah, right. That makes sense.

The research is in the Journal of Applied Physics.

Scientists would love to create synthetic adhesives based on the gecko trick.

I'll tell you why.
