Researchers discover that the prefrontal cortex models the behavior of social partners, allowing groups to self-correct and ...

When a crowd of passengers on a burning ship jumps overboard, when schoolboys go calmly through a fire drill, when four clubmen stage a drinking spree, when a mob of strikers overturns police cars, ...

Researchers investigate how the complex, cooperative behavior of honey bees (Apis mellifera) is genetically programmed so that it can be passed on to subsequent generations. They found an answer in ...

People may think of survival as an individual act—every animal (and person) for themselves. But a new study from UCLA suggests that when it comes to facing hardship together, social groups may ...

The same neurons that help bats navigate through space may also help them navigate collective social environments, finds a new study published today in the journal Nature. Many mammals — including ...

Group living is common across many species, and group sizes range from small (e.g., the Elephant herd and Lion pride) to very large (e.g., bird flocks or fish schools). Different species evolved ...

Active matter comprises systems in which individual components convert stored or ambient energy into mechanical work, leading to self-driven phenomena and spontaneous organisation. This area of ...

Scientists from the Skoltech Space Center (SSC) have developed nanosatellite interaction algorithms for scientific measurements using a tetrahedral orbital formation of CubeSats that exchange data and ...

Researchers used wireless neural recording and imaging devices to 'listen in' on the hippocampal brain activity of groups of Egyptian fruit bats as they flew freely within a large flight room. The ...
