据国外媒体报道,美国普林斯顿大学的研究人员近日打造出了神奇的飞毯,虽然目前还不能载人,但或许能应用于未来的火星表面探索任务中。美国哈佛大学的数学家马哈德万(L.Mahadevan)在2007年的一次实验中,使一个塑料板材飞起来。他的研究结果表明,薄片可以在波浪运动中迅速地振动向前,就像一束光在海底附近游动,或在空中停留。马哈德万没有打造出一张飞毯,他只是继续分析湿纸张如何卷曲。但在2008年,普林斯顿大学的研究生诺亚·贾弗里斯(Noah Jafferis)看到了马哈德万的论文,并将
According to foreign media reports, researchers at Princeton University in the United States have recently created a magical flying carpet that, although not yet capable of manned, may be used in the future mission of exploring the surface of Mars. In a 2007 experiment, Harvard mathematician L. Mahadevan flew a plastic sheet. His findings show that the flakes can quickly vibrate forward in wave motion, just as a beam of light travels around the sea floor or stays in the air. Mahadwan did not create a flying carpet, he just continued to analyze how the wet paper curl. But in 2008, Noah Jafferis, a graduate student at Princeton University, saw Mahathir’s paper,
