Research shows why fireflies blink in unison even though each individual insect is different. Credit: Toan Phan Northwestern University researchers have added a new dimension…
Coordinated behavior is common in a variety of biological systems, such as insect swarms, fish schools, and bacterial colonies. But the way information is spread…
Mathematicians have used a statistical technique to interrogate some of the big “what if” questions in the Second World War battle for Britain’s skies. What…
Using mathematical theory, Virginia Williams coaxes algorithms to run faster or proves they’ve hit their maximum speed. Each semester, Associate Professor Virginia Vassilevska Williams tries…
A miscalculated Fluids Lab demonstration leads to a new understanding of how particles accumulate in lakes and oceans. A team of mathematicians from the University…
Crawling is a well-known mechanism for motion on surfaces, but it is ineffective for fast migration in tissues, where cells have to squeeze through tiny…
