Video: World record - Credit card-sized adhesive surface holds truck
On 22 September 2013, researchers from the DLR Institute of Materials Research kept a 16.1-ton truck suspended in the air.
The truck was held only by two steel bolts roughly the same size as a credit card (seven centimetre diameter). The bolts were glued together with a special adhesive.
