This Research Front on GECKO ADHESIVE SETAE from the field of Materials Science was selected for mapping from the list of Fast Moving Fronts for January 2008. The map is a diagrammatic representation of the 15 core papers comprising the front. Each circle represents a highly cited paper whose bibliographic information is displayed when the user clicks on the circle. The lines between circles represent the strongest co-citation links for each paper (that is, indicating that the papers are frequently cited together). Papers close to each other on the map are generally more highly co-cited. The most recent paper(s) are indicated in red.


Fast Moving Fronts Comments
Kellar Autumn talks about his highly cited paper, "Evidence for van der Waals adhesion in gecko setae," (PROC NAT ACAD SCI USA, 99 (19): 12252-12256 SEP 17 2002), which is this month's emerging research front in Materials Science. This paper is represented in the map below.
