Kirigami Parachutes

In kirigami, careful cuts to a flat surface can morph it into a more complicated shape. Researchers have been exploring how to use this in combination with flow; now they've created a new form of parachute.  (Image and research credit: D. Lamoureux et al.; via Physics World)

how the fuck do artists draw people kissing this is the most difficult thing i’ve ever drawn in my life

close up on makoto bc i couldn’t stop laughjnf when i drew him imagine the two bad bitches ur in love with start kissing in front of you i would never recover

[superdupersillyme]

⚠️ suggestive art but no nudity

makoto was supposed to be on the left but i got lazy.

this is my mona lisa btw, don't think i can peak it

(bro it took me so long to realize I tagged it as naegami instead of kirigami 💀)

there's some cutting involved, so it's kirbygami actually

Novel kiri-origami structures enable high-performance stretchable electronics

Stretchable electronics are used in smartphones, smartwatches, curved displays, and wearable sensors. However, stretchable materials like elastomers have lower electrical performance than rigid materials such as metals or semiconductors, creating a trade-off between flexibility and function. To overcome this challenge, researchers have explored origami and kirigami, traditional Japanese paper folding (ori-) and cutting (kiri-) techniques, as strategies to achieve stretchability even when using non-stretchable electronic materials. Origami uses hinges to create flat, rigid-mountable panels by bending, while kirigami introduces slits for full-structure deformation and is better for large-area designs. However, kirigami is less suited for mounting rigid components. In a recent study, Professor Eiji Iwase and Mr. Nagi Nakamura from the Department of Applied Mechanics and Aerospace Engineering at Waseda University, Japan, developed an innovative hybrid technique using kiri-origami structures.
