| Swarm intelligence: New collective properties of swarm dynamics uncovered Posted: 15 Mar 2013 06:59 AM PDT A new study of animal swarms uncovers some new features of their collective behavior when overcrowding sets in. Swarming is the spontaneous organized motion of a large number of individuals. It is observed at all scales, from bacterial colonies, slime molds and groups of insects to shoals of fish, flocks of birds and animal herds. Now physicists have uncovered new collective properties of swarm dynamics.  |
| Smallest vibration sensor in the quantum world Posted: 15 Mar 2013 06:59 AM PDT Carbon nanotubes and magnetic molecules are considered building blocks of future nanoelectronic systems. Their electric and mechanical properties play an important role. Researchers have now found a way to combine both components on the atomic level and to build a quantum mechanical system with novel properties.  |
| Inspired by deep sea sponges: Creating flexible minerals Posted: 15 Mar 2013 04:45 AM PDT Scientists have imitated the skeleton of natural sea sponges to produce a new flexible mineral. the synthetic spicules are extremely flexible and are also able to transmit light waves even when they are bent.  |
