Скачать или смотреть 3D-Printed Bio-Inspired Microfliers- Autorotating Maple Seeds

3D-printed artificial maple seeds with the same shape as their natural counterparts have the same autorotating behavior. We field-tested their wind dispersal patterns, as a step toward the bioinspired design of small dispersed environmental sensors.
