Tubificine worms are segmented worms that are capable of forming entangled blobs that behave as a single organism to adapt to extreme environmental conditions or migrate more efficiently. Individual ...

Researchers at the University of Bristol have made an exciting discovery—synthetic materials that can move on their own, similar to how worms move. This research is part of a growing field called ...

In a crowded room, we naturally move slower than in an empty space. Surprisingly, worms can show the exact opposite behavior: in an environment with randomly scattered obstacles, they tend to move ...

Researchers wanted to understand precisely how blackworms execute tangling and ultrafast untangling movements for a myriad of biological functions. They researched the topology of the tangles. Their ...
