Looking at the structure of gecko feet at the nanoscale and measuring the tiny forces involved showed that gec ko feet stick mechanically\, not chemically. This discovery lead to the development of the world's first adhesive that is dry\, self-cleaning\, reversible\, and can even work in the vacuum of outer space. Designs bas ed on gecko feet are being used to create robots that can run up walls\, and this adhesive could bring changes to the manufacture of everything from home electronics to car brakes. At this Science Pub we will talk ab out how the study of mechanisms and evolution of animal locomotion has l ead to biologically inspired materials and machines. \;\n \;\nKell ar Autumn\, Ph.D.\, professor of biology at Lewis &\; Clark College s ince 1998\, does research that has grown into a new field of study at th e interface between biology\, physics\, and materials science. He has au thored over 40 scientific papers and his research is featured in textboo ks\, encyclopedias\, and popular books including The Nanotech Pioneers: Where Are They Taking Us? Every major television network has covered his work\, as have hundreds of newspaper\, magazine\, and Internet articles worldwide. \;\n \;\n \n\nTags: omsi\n\nImported from: http://cal agator.org/events/1250455729 URL:http://www.omsi.edu/education/adults/sciencepub/ SUMMARY:Science Pub: How Geckos Stick and Why We Care LOCATION:McMenamins Mission Theater & Pub: 1624 Nw Glisan St\, Portland O regon 97209 US SEQUENCE:0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20081202T135735Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20081203T220000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20081203T180000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20081202T135735Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20081202T135735Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250456183 DESCRIPTION:$10 for nonmembers - get tickets at the door\, or buy tickets online \;\nFREE to members \;\n$7.50 for 9:00 p.m. laser show—Ele ctrolyte \;\n \;\n \;\nHere's your chance to shoot off water ro ckets\, concoct chemical creations\, and explore the wonders of OMSI wit h no kids in sight!

The University of Oregon professor of physic s is leading the way with internationally recognized research into fract als—curious patterns found in nature that repeat themselves. Taylor's st artling discoveries show that these patterns-within-patterns may signifi cantly reduce stress and have interesting implications for psychology\, medicine\, and even the semiconductor industry. Taylor has applied his s tudies to art\, showing how fractal patterns in the work of abstract exp ressionist Jackson Pollock can distinguish a real Pollock from a fake. C ome hear about this amazing intersection of art and science. \;\n  3\;\nRichard Taylor\, PhD\, is an associate professor in physics\, psych ology\, and art at the University of Oregon. Transforming lives by erasi ng academic boundaries might be why Taylor was named Outstanding Teacher in Higher Education for 2005 by the Oregon Academy of Science.\n\nTags: science\, beer\, pub\, geek\, nerd\, mission\, omsi\, lecture\n\nImport ed from: http://calagator.org/events/1250456458 URL:http://omsi.edu/sciencepub SUMMARY:[Science Pub] Snowflakes\, Stress\, and Semiconductors: Do You Se e A Pattern Here?
