	Gecko - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Geckos are small to moderately large lizards belonging to the family Gekkonidae and found in warm climates throughout the world.
		Recent studies of the setae on gecko footpads demonstrates that the attractive forces that hold geckos to surfaces are van der Waals interactions between the finely divided setae and the surfaces themselves.
		The leopard gecko tends to be docile and calm.

		Geckos are often seen at night running upside down on the ceilings of houses.
		Geckos vary in body length from 1.5 to 25 cm (0.5 to 10 in) and often have broad, flattened heads and thick, stumpy tails.
		Most geckos are tan, brown, or grayish; exceptions include the day geckos of Madagascar and other parts of Africa, which are bright green with spots of orange or yellow, and the tree geckos of New Zealand, which are green or yellowish with pale markings.

	Gecko (layout engine) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gecko is cross-platform and works on a number of different operating systems, including Microsoft Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.
		Gecko is generally considered to be the second most-popular layout engine on the Web, after Trident (used by Internet Explorer for Windows since version 4), and followed by KHTML (used by Konqueror), WebCore (used by Safari), Presto (used by Opera) and Tasman (used by Internet Explorer for Mac).
		Additionally Gecko 1.9 Reflow code is being refactored, because original design split between HTML and XUL turned out to be flawed and (among other things) is not able to pass Acid2 test.

	The Gecko NFS Web Proxy
		Gecko’s naming scheme is based on mapping a URL directly to a Unix file name by treating each component of the URL as a directory.
		Gecko uses the MD5 checksum algorithm [9] to generate NFS handles that are uniformly distributed within the space of valid handles.
		Thus Gecko may not handle files that are open longer than 60 seconds correctly in the case where handle discards and re-use is necessary, but we assume that this is a rare occurrence.

	Dr Gecko: Leopard Gecko Behaviours
		If the gecko is hiding an excessive amount, it could be indicative of a health problem such as stress, illness, injury or a reaction to its environment.
		Leopard geckos tend to be less active during the cooler months and may also cut back on their eating (seasonal anorexia).
		Geckos should have some type of a rough surface in their enclosure to assist with the shedding process (avoid porous rocks through such as lava).

	Sticky Secrets of the Gecko / Researchers have finally unlocked the mystery of the small lizard's remarkable climbing ...
		Geckos are a superhero's envy when it comes to their ability to climb rapidly up just about any vertical surface.
		Many other gecko species sport similar footgear, but the Tokay is considered to have the most elaborate feet of any lizard known, possibly the most advanced dry-adhesive technology in nature outside the insect world.
		As the gecko begins curling its feet again, an angle of around 30 starts to break the molecular force and the bond is released, leaving no residue.

		Geckos range in size from 1/2 inch to about 14 inches (1.5 to 35 cm) long; the largest gecko is the tokay gecko (Gecko gecko).
		The gecko's eyes are covered and protected by a transparent membrane; the gecko cleans this membrane with its long tongue.
		When a gecko is caught by its tail, it releases the tail, which twitches for a while, allowing the gecko to escape capture.

		Scrub is the favoured habitat of the green-tree gecko, the geckos will often bask on the tops of bushes.
		NZ geckos are omnivorous, eating mainly arthropods like insects and spiders but also eating soft fruit and nectar when in season.
		The green-tree gecko mates in September, but the young are not born for nearly a year: this is probably the longest gestation of any lizard.

		Geckos are small, insect-eating, and often very noisy creatures that have become popular pets.
		Professor Full's team of biologists and engineers calculated the combined adhesive force of all the tiny hairs lining the gecko's toes is 10 times greater than the maximum force reportedly needed to pull a live gecko off the wall.
		Professor Full's team believe the stickiness of the gecko can now be attributed to intermolecular forces so weak they are normally swamped by the many stronger forces in nature.

		Rather than using it's claws or sticky substances, the gecko is able to stick to the walls through dry adhesion which requires no energy to hold it to the surface and leaves no residue.
		The gecko's trick to sticking to surfaces lies in its feet, specifically the very fine hairs on its toes.
		Each hair is made from multiple sections, a micro-hair which is roughly 5 microns in diameter, and atop each of these micro-hairs sit tens to hundreds of nano-hairs which are 200 nanometers in diameter (1/250th of a human hair).

	Scientists prove how geckos stick
		But the gecko’s remarkable climbing ability has remained a mystery since Artistotle first observed it in fourth century B.C. Now a team of biologists and engineers has cracked the molecular secrets of the gecko’s unsurpassed sticking power—opening the door for engineers to fabricate prototypes of synthetic gecko adhesive.
		In other words, the size and shape of the tips of gecko foot hairs—not what they are made of—determine the gecko’s stickiness.
		Geckos have millions of setae—microscopic hairs on the bottom of their feet.

		The discovery of how geckos stick has lead to the design of a new type of adhesive that is self cleaning and can function in outer space.
		I went on to study more species of gecko from around the world, and found that geckos evolved excellent fuel economy around 160 million years ago -at the same time that they evolved to be nocturnal.
		The evolution of excellent fuel economy may be one of the key features that allowed geckos to become nocturnal and diversify into the 850 species that exist today.
