Fish cells swim circles around physics lab Nov 30
What do stampeding elephants and flocks of birds have in common with living cells from a goldfish? They can all be described by a new model of "flocking" devised by biophysicists in Hungary. The model is based on observations of live cells that begin to move in unison as their numbers reach a critical level and is the first to explain how such simple organisms can do this without being "aware" of their neighbour’s collective motion. (Phys. Rev. E to be published).
