just saved a gecko! this morning I saw a gecko run into an apartment where no one lives, I was very worried that he would get stuck there and die. now at night I went to get some fresh air after cleaning the apartment and when I returned I saw this gecko who almost ran into another apartment in which no one lives either, I grabbed him gently and took him to a place where there are a lot of geckos and there are midges. it was the closest and most pleasant touch of paws in my life. I hope the gecko will not get lost again and will not run into locked apartments By the way! On the paws of the gecko there are numerous rows of plates, consisting of very thin fibers (14,000 per square millimeter!), ending in even finer structures 200-300 nanometers thick. It is these ultra-thin fibers that interact with the surface, providing "sticking" of the gecko's paws. These fine structures interact with the surface at the molecular and atomic levels - their nuclei and electrons redistribute charges, resulting in a stable connection. (but there are other theories) and a very cool material based on the paws of a gecko was also invented - gecko tape
