Kirigami-inspired wind steering to cool sweltering urban canyons, improve ventilation

Researchers at Princeton's engineering school have found that placing a specially designed lid over a box can dramatically increase the airflow from wind blowing across the upper surface. It is not just a parlor trick. The information could help clean and cool urban canyons in cities like New York and Hong Kong and improve ventilation in popup restaurants and bus shelters.
