Scientists and engineers frequently draw inspiration from the natural world around them. Swarms of insects and birds inspired the development of mass-coordinated aerial and terrestrial drones. Learn how a team of researchers out of Harvard University turned to schooling fish to develop synchronized swimming robots. Ashley MarranzinoI received my Master’s degree from the University of […]
Is it cool for fish to stay in a school? Many do, but why? Avoiding predators is one reason, but scientists debate on whether fish gain an energetic advantage of easier swimming when in a group. New research published in Fish and Fisheries uses advanced technology to test old and new theories of hydrodynamics and […]
