Simulation demonstrating active matter (IMAGE)
Caption
In this computer model, conceived by researchers from Penn State and Ludwig-Maximillian University, communications by small, self-propelled agents led to intelligent-like collective behavior. The simulation shows snapshots in time and displays droplet ripening, vortex-controlled aggregation and the merging of vortices.
