@cleoabram: This insect's wings are secretly huge. They unfold to be ten times their folded size. How do they do it? Turns out, the secret isn’t muscles, it’s a stretchy protein that dictates the folding pattern, kind of like origami! We’ve taken inspiration from nature to help us engineer telescopes and solar panels, making it easier to launch things into space or build emergency shelters here on earth For more optimistic science and tech stories, follow along! #insect #Science #origami #telescope
