There is a Nature article on gecko-tape

http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn3726

The gecko tape works in a very similar way you can stick it to a surface and then you peel it off from one edge. The tape can then be stuck somewhere else, and then peeled off and stuck somewhere else. However, the problem with the tape is that after a few times of sticking and peeling, the tape loses its stick. The scientists had a careful look at the tape and discovered that the nanohairs were either sticking to each other, or breaking and falling off. So there is research into finding a better material to make the gecko tape out of, something stronger and more durable.
