Gecko toepads adhere through a combination of weak intermolecular forces, called van der Waals forces, and frictional adhesion. Hundreds to hundreds of thousands of hair-like bristles, called setae, line the underside of a gecko's toes. The large surface area created by this multitude of bristle...

This ability,to be published in the Journal of Applied Physics, is a remarkable mechanism in the toes of geckos that uses tiny, branched hairs called “seta” that can instantly turn their stickiness on and off, and even “unstick” their feet without using any energy. These extraordinary ha...

(Van der Waals forces explain why geckos can stick themselves to ceilings using zillions of tiny hairs on their toes.) Although there is only a microscopic amount of van der Waals force between one microfiber and any given dirt particle, remember that there are millions of microfibers in a...
Spider legs and feet are actually quite similar to a gecko’s when it comes to sticking to different surfaces. Spiders have tiny sticky “hairs” on their legs, known as spatulae, that helps them stick to a variety of surfaces. ©Sari ONeal/Shutterstock.com Are Brown Recluses in Califo...
