  Sticking plaster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A sticking plaster (called an adhesive bandage in the United States) is a small medical dressing, used for injuries not serious enough to require a bandage.
The plaster is applied such that the pad covers the wound (but does not stick to the wound), and the fabric or plastic sticks to the surrounding skin to hold the dressing in place and prevent dirt from entering the wound.
Sticking plasters are often called by their brand names such as Elastoplast or BAND-AID.

 A Penitent Blogger: Sticking
In events such as freestyle skiing, a successful athlete must "stick the landing" – that is, land squarely on both skis without wavering or losing balance.
The keys to sticking a landing in sports are awareness, control and strength.
Successful athletes know where the ground is, know where their feet are, keep their feet and bodies in the right positions, and have the strength to hold themselves upright against the forces of wind, gravity and momentum.

 New Scientist Breaking News - Synthetic gecko hairs promise walking up walls
But then Ron Fearing and his colleagues at the University of California at Berkeley showed that the adhesion is in fact due to very weak intermolecular attractive forces called van der Waals forces.
Fearing's team showed that two microscopic polymer bumps, roughly the same size as those on a seta, had the same sticking power as a gecko hair.
Right now, Sitti says, they can stick things weighing a few kilograms to a ceiling, but the synthetic gecko hairs are still being improved.
