• Recent developments in superhydrophobic surfaces and their relevance to marine fouling: a review (2006, background): “The feet adhere to the walls via simple van der Waals forces under a vacuum; the fast locomotion of geckos is facilitated by the special design of their feet, making them stick rapidly to a surface and releasing their grasp in a fraction of a second (Autumn, 2006).”
• Frictional adhesion: a new angle on gecko attachment (2006, methodology): “This is consistent with models of setae as cantilever beams (Autumn, 2006; Autumn et al., 2006b; Gao et al., 2005; Sitti and Fearing, 2003; Spolenak et al., 2005) and with finite element modeling of the seta (Gao et al., 2005).”
