| --- | --- |
| Description | This cluster of papers focuses on the mechanics of gecko foot adhesion, including the study of van der Waals forces, surface roughness, contact mechanics, and the development of biomimetic adhesives. It explores the nanoscale structures, frictional properties, and hierarchical designs inspired by gecko feet for potential applications in various fields. |
