Aerodynamics-assisted, efficient and scalable kirigami fog collectors

Aerodynamics-assisted, efficient and scalable kirigami fog collectors

Water shortage not only occurs in arid regions, but also in humid area with little precipitation, despite abundant fog. Authors develop robust and scalable 3D centimetric kirigami structures to control wind flow and regulate the trajectories of incoming fog, yielding high fog collection efficiency.
