Scientists at Virginia Tech are using the octopus's amazing gripping ability as inspiration to develop new underwater technology.
They have created a special adhesive that can attach to and release from various surfaces underwater, just like an octopus's sucker.
This technology could be used for underwater salvage and rescue operations, making it easier to grab and move objects in challenging environments.
The team has even used the adhesive to build underwater structures, showing its potential for a wide range of applications.
