Adhesive force of a single gecko foot-hair
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
The first direct measurements of single setal force are reported by using a two-dimensional micro-electro-mechanical systems force sensor and a wire as a force gauge and revealed that a seta is ten times more effective at adhesion than predicted from maximal estimates on whole animals.
