Oct. 7, 2022 Autonomous optimal navigation of microswimmers is in fact possible, as researchers have recently shown. In contrast to the targeted navigation of boats, the motion of swimmers at the microscale is ...
Mar. 15, 2023 Using vision to efficiently move through an area by foot uses a unique region of the brain's cortex, according to a small ...
Nov. 7, 2022 Researchers examined how rogue waves form and analyzed the likelihood that a ship would encounter them while navigating the rough waters of intense ...
July 6, 2022 Researchers have discovered that the hippocampus creates a vector-based representation to support animals to make optimal navigation decisions. The researchers report results which go a long way to ...
Oct. 9, 2023 It's well-known that birds and other animals rely on Earth's magnetic field for long-distance navigation during seasonal migrations. But how do periodic disruptions of the planet's ...
Sep. 24, 2021 The direction of movement of a microbe directly depends on the curvature of its environment, according to new findings. The researchers investigated the navigation of a model microbe, a small ...
July 31, 2023 Simply remembering events can trigger brain rhythms, even more so than when people are experiencing the actual event, says a new study. The findings could lay foundations for cognitive impairment ...
May 10, 2021 Computer scientists have developed a more accurate navigation system that will allow robots to better negotiate busy clinical environments in general and emergency departments more specifically. The ...
Oct. 18, 2021 A study suggests our brains are not optimized to calculate the shortest possible route when navigating on foot. Instead, pedestrians use vector-based navigation, choosing 'pointiest' paths ...
Jan. 20, 2023 The sport of orienteering, which draws on athleticism, navigational skills and memory, could be useful as an intervention or preventive measure to fight cognitive decline related to dementia, ...
