According to a study conducted by Kaare Jensen at the Technical University of Denmark, the most dangerous type of paper for causing paper cuts is approximately 65 micrometers thick. Jensen and his colleagues tested various types of paper, including tissue paper, print magazines, office paper, book pages, business cards, and printed photos, to determine their ability to cut human skin. They found that paper of this thickness, commonly used for dot matrix printers and printed scientific journals, is not so thin that it buckles upon contact, but not so thick that its impact is blunted. The researchers even created a recyclable knife, called the "Papermachete," with a blade made from scrap paper of this thickness. [Extracted from the article]

This article from Brainspace explores the topic of aerodynamics and the art of paper airplanes.

This article from Science News explains the physics behind paper cuts. Researchers conducted experiments with a gelatin replica of human tissue and found that thin paper tends to buckle before it can cut, while thick paper typically indents the material but doesn't pierce it. The scientists identified a thickness of around 65 micrometers as the "sweet spot" for paper cuts. They also designed a 3-D printed tool called the Papermachete, which can act as a knife with low-cost replacement blades. Future research will focus on studying more realistic, finger-shaped materials. [Extracted from the article]
