A celebrated and controversial hypothesis suggests that some biological systems—parts,
aspects, or groups of them—may extract important functional benefits from operating at the …

Swarm robotics deals with the design, construction, and deployment of large groups of

From coffee beans flowing in a chute to cells remodelling in a living tissue, a wide variety of
close-packed collective systems—both inert and living—have the potential to jam. The …

We study a system of purely repulsive spherical self-propelled particles in the minimal setup
inducing motility-induced phase separation (MIPS). We show that, even if explicit alignment …

Anyone who has moved furniture together with friends will appreciate that cooperative
transport requires some non-trivial communication. Yet ants are adept at collectively moving …

The collective behaviors of animals, from schooling fish to packing wolves and flocking
birds, display plenty of fascinating phenomena that result from simple interaction rules …

The activity of a neural network is defined by patterns of spiking and silence from the
individual neurons. Because spikes are (relatively) sparse, patterns of activity with …

Groups of animals can perform highly coordinated collective behaviours that confer benefits
to the participating individuals by facilitating social information exchange and protection from …
