Geckos

Sticky, a word used to describe adhesive or cohesive materials. Think of a gecko there hands are sticky they can climb up a vertical wall with ease. Think to yourself "how sticky is that"? Instead try to think how sticky is ten times that! Scientists have created an adhesive stick like device. They would be stuck to a wall and taken off with ease, no tearing of the wall and removal of the paint. There are multiple layers of carbon nanotube hook like things on the stick mimicking the fingers and hands of geckos but 10 times more adhesive.
Impact: Paint stays on walls longer, while leaving no holes.
Critique: I like geckos, this is about sticky geckos.
