Hygroscopic compounds in spider aggregate glue remove interfacial water to maintain adhesion in humid conditions

Spider aggregate glue avoids failure in humid environments but the fundamental mechanism behind it is still unknown. Here, the authors demonstrate that humidity-dependent structural changes of glycoproteins and sequestering of liquid water by low molecular mass compounds prevents adhesion failure of...
