Stewardship of global collective behavior
Collective behavior provides a framework for understanding how the actions and properties
of groups emerge from the way individuals generate and share information. In humans …

Odd dynamics of living chiral crystals
Active crystals are highly ordered structures that emerge from the self-organization of motile
objects, and have been widely studied in synthetic, and bacterial, active matter. Whether …

Vortex phase matching as a strategy for schooling in robots and in fish
It has long been proposed that flying and swimming animals could exploit neighbour-
induced flows. Despite this it is still not clear whether, and if so how, schooling fish …

Polarized information ecosystems can reorganize social networks via information cascades
The precise mechanisms by which the information ecosystem polarizes society remain
elusive. Focusing on political sorting in networks, we develop a computational model that …
