- The foot of your average gecko is covered with billions of tinyhair tips—called spatulae—that are made of keratin, the proteinfound in human hair. A subtle shift of the electron distribution inboth the spatulae and the wall to which a gecko clings producesan adhesive force by means of the van der Waals interaction between molecules. Suppose a gecko uses its spatulae to cling to a vertical windowpane. If you were to describe this situation in terms ofa coefficient of static friction, ms, what value would you assign toms?
