Cover image: Geckos bear millions of dry, adhesive hairs (setae) on their feet that allow them to stick to nearly every surface. Each seta branches into 100-1,000 flat tips that adhere by using van der Waals forces. These chemical bonds temporarily rearrange electrons and create an electrodynamic attraction.
