The Science of Stickiness: Researchers Discover Universal Mechanism for How Soft Materials Stick
Adhesive tape or sticky notes are easy to attach to a surface, but are difficult to remove. Now, researchers have discovered that this "adhesion hysteresis" is caused by the rough surfaces of the adherent soft materials.
