🍃 🪂 🧪 Parachute Design Using the Art of Kirigami

"Unlike conventional parachutes that require a gliding angle for vertical stability and fall at random far from a target, our kirigami-inspired parachutes always fall near the target"

Nature Portfolio @natureportfolio.nature.com · 14d

A paper in Nature shows that parachute designs inspired by kirigami — the Japanese art of paper cutting to produce 3D designs — are stable and fall close to their target. These findings could simplify parachute manufacturing, reduce costs, and improve accuracy. go.nature.com/473OMmK 🧪

I don’t know what I pay federal taxes for if it’s going towards an army that’s going to attack fellow Americans.
