Scientists have developed a new method to simulate the complex movements of animals with exceptional accuracy. The research team set out to solve a long-standing challenge in biology—how to accurately ...

When observing small worms under a microscope, one might observe something very surprising: the worms appear to make a sweeping motion to clean their own environment. Physicists at the University of ...

Certain parasitic worms survive by taking control of snail behavior. Instead of hiding, infected snails are driven into exposed areas where predators can easily find them. The worms manipulate ...

Computer-modeled body movements of a simulated worm (top) and a real worm (bottom). The graphs show body movement patterns over time for both worms (left). On the right, moving images show how closely ...
