The interactions between the gecko's feet and the climbing surface are stronger than simple surface area effects. On its feet, the gecko has many microscopic hairs, or setae (singular seta), arranged into lamellae that increase the Van der Waals forces - the distance-dependent attraction between atoms or molecules - between its feet and the surface.
