The large numbers of setae produce very strong forces. They give the geckos wonderful " sticking" power.

大量的刚毛会产生非常强大的量。它们赋予壁虎奇妙的“粘着”量。

To adhere, the setae rely on small electromagnetic attractions between molecules called van der Waals forces.

So this right here is one seta, or one segment within the worm.
