Like schools of fish and flocks of birds, our cells can also migrate collectively in coordination with their neighbors. This ...

The study of collective dynamics in kinetic systems addresses how large assemblies of interacting particles or agents give rise to coherent macroscopic phenomena. By bridging the gap between ...

Active matter comprises systems in which individual components convert stored or ambient energy into mechanical work, leading to self-driven phenomena and spontaneous organisation. This area of ...

From swarming bees to clustering bacteria colonies, nature stuns with its ability to self organize and perform collective, dynamic behaviors. Now researchers have found a way to mimic these behaviors ...

Without stem cells, human life would not exist. Due to them, a lump of cells becomes an organ, and a fertilized egg develops into a baby. But what actually makes a stem cell? Are these a stable ...

Flocks of starlings that produce dazzling patterns across the sky are natural examples of active matter -- groups of individual agents coming together to create collective dynamics. In a study ...
