The last I read they were
theorizing about inter molecular adhesion and wondering about how to
prove it :-)



The last I heard, they had solved it.

According to what I read, it functions by the same method Gecko feet do --
by having structures so small or close together that atomic binding forces
come into play.

I read a sci-fi book about very thing that recently. They put the
stuff on a small RC truck's tires and it would pull chunks of painted
drywall out of the wall if you tried to remove the truck, which could
climb the wall and proceed onto the ceiling without any trouble.
