The article explores how nature employs origami-like folding mechanisms, such as in insect wings and microscopic protists, inspiring technological innovations like deployable space structures and robotic wings, highlighting the intricate physics and potential applications of biological folds.
A BYU student discovered a new origami pattern called 'bloom patterns' with potential applications in space, medicine, architecture, and more, opening up infinite variations for practical use in deployable systems and design challenges.
Scientists have tested the robustness of quantum entanglement by subjecting quantum hardware to various environments, including bumpy car rides, drops from a tower, and spins in a centrifuge. The experiments, conducted by the European Space Agency, aimed to understand the effects of acceleration on quantum systems and explore the connections between relativity and quantum physics. The results showed that current quantum communication platforms are remarkably robust, paving the way for the development of space-based applications.
