Incredible Breakthroughs in Modern Warfare that Will Leave You Speechless!

18. Geckskin

A research team at the University of Massachusetts developed Geckskin, a material that adheres to flat surfaces and is capable of supporting nearly 350 kilograms on a postcard-sized pad when applied to a smooth surface, using rigid tissues to increase its adhesive force.

Recognizing the military value of Geckskin, DARPA is now working on perfecting the technology. One major advantage of this technology is that soldiers in the field will only need a pair of Geckskin gloves to climb a vertical wall.
