Shoutout to the folks at Polytechnique (Montréal & Palaiseau) for their work just out in @Nature on how kirigami principles✂️ can be applied to make parachutes 🪂
Cutting a pattern into a flat disc can transform it into a parachute capable of carrying small payloads

Mucus films cover lung airways, but when do they block them? Beyond thickness and volume, intermediate films develop humps whose sliding and nonlinear growth can robustly form plugs, independent of gravity and ciliary transport.

I am teaching Intro to Robotics again at @Princeton. New this year: final project where students use imitation learning to make drones navigate! Starter code will be publicly available.
All other course materials (lecture videos, notes, etc.) from F'22:

Happy to share our last paper 👉 nature.com/articles/s41467-0… where we show how beads can turn flexible fiber networks into load-bearing structures. Fun to build, tricky to crack—these metamaterials keep you on your toes! (literally) @LaurenDreier @Trev_J_Jones

Inspired by biological growth, scientists have developed a 3D printing method that ''grows'' objects from liquid resin using a self-propelling chemical reaction.
This approach enables the creation of beautiful, complex shapes like this helical horn.

Using propulsion systems like bows and spearthrowers, researchers have found that flexible, weighted-tip projectiles that wobble when thrown can achieve a kinetic energy gain of 160% over rigid ones.
