Flocking at a distance in active granular matter.
The self-organized motion of vast numbers of creatures in a single direction is a spectacular example of emergent order. Here, we recreate this phenomenon using actuated nonliving components. We report here that millimetre-sized tapered rods, rendered motile by contact with an underlying vibrated surface and interacting through a medium of spherical beads, undergo a phase transition to a state ...
متن کاملFlocking Behavior
Flocking is the phenomenon in which self-propelled individuals, using only limited environmental information and simple rules, organize into an ordered motion. This ordering even occurs at two dimensions where ordering is not possible equilibrium systems. This paper will explain the biological and physical motivation for studying flocking, and the computational, theoretical, and experimental ef...
متن کاملObservations on the Cultivation of Vaccine Virus in Lifeless Media
No evidence was obtained to indicate that vaccine virus is capable of multiplication in media consisting of serum, Tyrode's solution, and extracts of tissues. Kendall's K. medium is not suitable for the cultivation of vaccine virus.
متن کاملFlocking in
climate was rare heavy rainfall in western Queensland. And a result has been enormous flocks of the popular pet bird, budgerigars. The birds have had a breeding boom as a result of the grasses that have seeded after the rains. “I have been here since 1983 and never seen anything like it, Ann Britton, a resident of Boulia, told Queensland’s Courier and Mail. “My father, who has travelled extensi...
متن کاملStability of Flocking Motion
This paper investigates the aggregated stability properties of of a system of multiple mobile agents described by simple dynamical systems. The agents are steered through local coordinating control laws that arise as a combination of attractive/repulsive and alignment forces. These forces ensure collision avoidance and cohesion of the group and result to all agents attaining a common heading an...
