33. Jellyfish nematocysts entangle.
“Nematocysts are diverse in structure and interactions with target tissues (Mariscal, 1974; Williamson et al., 1996). The nematocyst itself consists of an intracellular capsule containing a tightly coiled and folded tubule. Upon receipt of appro...

36. Self-repairing elastomers
Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Environmental, Safety and Energy Technology UMSICHT in Oberhausen, Germany have come up with self-healing elastomers that can repair themselves autonomously, in order to put a stop to the growth of...
37. Foot adaptations climb rough and smooth surfaces: insects
