"Yellow" is a song by the British #rock band #Coldplay. The band wrote the song and co-produced it with British record producer #KenNelson for their debut album, #Parachutes (2000). The song was released on 26 June 2000 as the second UK single from Parachutes, following "#Shiver", and as the #leadSingle in the United States in November 2000. "Yellow" reached number four on the #UKSinglesChart, giving Coldplay their first top-five hit in the United Kingdom.

To fly stably, parachutes need to deform and allow some air to pass through their canopy. In this video, researchers investigate kirigimi parachutes, inspired by a form of paper art that uses cuts to create three-dimensional shapes. After laser-cutting, these disks are dropped — or placed in a wind tunnel — to observe how they “fly” at different speeds. Sometimes they flutter or bend; other shapes elongate in the flow.
