  2. Paper planes launched from space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_planes_launched_from...

    Origami paper plane designed by Takuo Toda. Japanese scientists and origami masters considered in 2008 launching a flotilla of paper planes from space. [2] The launch was tentatively slated for 2009 [3] from the International Space Station [4] 250 miles above Earth.

  3. Paper Aircraft Released Into Space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_Aircraft_Released...

    The Paper Aircraft Released Into Space (PARIS) project was a privately organized endeavour undertaken by various staff members of the British information technology website The Register to design, build, test, and launch a lightweight aerospace vehicle, constructed mostly of paper and similar structural materials, into the mid-stratosphere and recover it intact.

  4. Paper plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_plane

    Blackburn's record-breaking 20-year-old paper plane [12] was based on his belief that the best planes had short wings and are "heavy" at the point of the launch phase in which the thrower throws the paper plane into the air, and at the same time longer wings and a "lighter" weight would allow the paper plane to have better flight times but this ...

  5. Fixed-wing aircraft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-wing_aircraft

    One small-scale example of a glider is the paper airplane. An ordinary sheet of paper can be folded into an aerodynamic shape fairly easily; its low mass relative to its surface area reduces the required lift for flight, allowing it to glide some distance. Gliders and sailplanes share many design elements and aerodynamic principles with powered ...

  6. Chemical composition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_composition

    Chemical formulas can be used to describe the relative amounts of elements present in a compound. For example, the chemical formula for water is H 2 O: this means that each molecule of water is constituted by 2 atoms of hydrogen (H) and 1 atom of oxygen (O). The chemical composition of water may be interpreted as a 2:1 ratio of hydrogen atoms ...

  7. Chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemistry

    Chemistry is the scientific study of the properties and behavior of matter. [1] It is a physical science within the natural sciences that studies the chemical elements that make up matter and compounds made of atoms, molecules and ions: their composition, structure, properties, behavior and the changes they undergo during reactions with other substances.

  8. Chemical substance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_substance

    Two or more elements combined into one substance through a chemical reaction form a chemical compound. All compounds are substances, but not all substances are compounds. A chemical compound can be either atoms bonded together in molecules or crystals in which atoms, molecules or ions form a crystalline lattice.

  9. Chemical compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_compound

    [16] [17] [18] A molecule may be homonuclear, that is, it consists of atoms of one chemical element, as with two atoms in the oxygen molecule (O 2); or it may be heteronuclear, a chemical compound composed of more than one element, as with water (two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom; H 2 O). A molecule is the smallest unit of a substance that ...
