If you’ve ever gone down to the seashore and tried to pull mussels off rocks (and hey, who hasn’t?), then you’ll know how tenacious their holdfasts can be – although they can be tugged back and forth, it’s almost impossible to actually remove them. Recently, scientists at Germany’s Max Planck Institute for Colloids and Interfaces<\/strong> analyzed how the delicious mollusks are able to to achieve such a feat of natural engineering. What they discovered could find its way into human technology…<\/p>\n Tags:<\/b> amino acid<\/a>, Related Articles:<\/b><\/p>\n If you’ve ever gone down to the seashore and tried to pull mussels off rocks (and hey, who hasn’t?), then you’ll know how tenacious their holdfasts can be – although they can be tugged back and forth, it’s almost impossible to actually remove them.
