Battery-free robot microfliers use origami folds to descend
Robot microfliers that can change how they move through the air use origami to snap into a folded position during their descent.

Modeling how gulls respond to wind gusts by changing wing shape could improve the flight of drones or other aircraft, say researchers.
What started as simple curiosity about what makes a good paper airplane could clarify flight stability and inspire new types of flying robots and drones.
