How can Geckos walk upside down?

Geckos can race up a polished glass at a meter per second and support their body weight from a wall with a single toe. This is due to the millions of tiny hairs found on their toes. These tiny hairs are called Van Der Waals forces, which allow the gecko’s feet to stick to almost any surface. If a gecko used all of its tiny hairs at a time, it could support up to 280 pounds.
