In recent years, bioinspired insect flight has become a prominent research area, with a particular focus on beetle-inspired aerial vehicles. Studying the unique flight mechanisms and structural characteristics of beetles has significant implications for the optimization of biomimetic flying devices. Among beetles, (rhinoceros beetle) exhibits a distinct wing deployment-flight-retraction sequence, whereby the interaction between the hindwings and protective elytra contributes to lift generation and maintenance.

While controlling underwater adhesion is critical for designing biological adhesives and in improving the traction of tires, haptics, or adhesives for health monitoring devices, it is hindered by a lack of fundamental understanding of how the presence of trapped water impedes interfacial bonding. Here, by using well-characterized polycrystal diamond surfaces and soft, nonhysteretic, low-surface energy elastomers, we show a reduction in adhesion during approach and four times higher adhesion during retraction as compared to the thermodynamic work of adhesion. Our findings reveal how the loading phase of contact is governed by the entrapment of water by ultrasmall (10-nanometer-scale) surface features.

Medical adhesives play an important role in clinical medicine because of their flexibility and convenient operation. However, they are still limited to laparoscopic surgeries, which have demonstrated urgent demand for liver retraction with minimal damage to the human body. Here, inspired by the suction cup structure of octopus, an adhesive patch with excellent mechanical properties, robust and switchable adhesiveness, and biocompatibility is proposed.
