Collective dynamics are ubiquitous in the natural world. From neural circuits to animal groups, there are countless instances in which the interactions among large numbers of elementary units bestow ...

Research carried out at the University of Pennsylvania has definitively measured and described the Brownian motion of an isolated ellipsoidal particle, completing a path laid out by Einstein 100 years ...

A noninvasive data analysis technique has been developed that can discern whether an object's random motion is actively or thermally driven. Inside every living cell, internal structures are ...

A group of physicists in Italy believes that mobile bacteria could convert chemical energy into mechanical energy by pushing on the teeth of tiny gear wheels. The researchers used computer simulations ...

Today we continue on our journey of understanding motion, direction, and velocity. Continuing in our journey of understanding motion, direction, and velocity... today, Shini introduces the ideas of ...
