Humidity-tolerant rate-dependent capillary viscous adhesion of bee-collected pollen fluids

We report a two-phase adhesive fluid recovered from pollen, which displays remarkable rate tunability and humidity stabilization at microscopic and macroscopic scales. These natural materials provide a previously-unknown model for bioinspired humidity-stable and dynamically-tunable adhesive material...
