Biomim LAB Show #1<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9.30am - 10am<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Climbing like a gecko or a tree frog, the secrets of membership revealed<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anthony Herrel<\/a><\/span><\/strong>, Biologist, Editor Journal of Zoology, Head of IBEES UMR 7179 C.N.R.S\/M.N.H.N. D\u00e9partement Adaptations du Vivant, Mus\u00e9um national d'Histoire naturelle.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anthony Herral will start by explaining the principles of adhesion and the physical mechanisms that make animals like a tree frog or a gecko climb smooth walls with some pictures of the animals and some diagrams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then you will see a demonstration with live animals to show that the tree frog and the gecko do not have the same abilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, Anthony Herral will show examples of bioinspiration from these animals with a piece of tyre (tree frog) and 'geckskin', an adhesive material inspired by the gecko. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
