An international team of researchers has built the largest three-dimensional database of ant anatomy ever assembled, scanning ...

The internet, and especially social media, can be a truly bizarre place. The majority of the global population is online, so ...

Researchers leveraged advanced technologies and artificial intelligence to hasten the process of generating 2,000 3D digital ...

A new high-tech scanning system is rapidly turning thousands of ants into stunning 3D models—building a digital library of ...

This project is an educational and research-oriented implementation that benchmarks and compares different metaheuristic algorithms for solving VRPTW problems. The VRPTW is a classic NP-hard ...

Life may look like a paradise for beetles living in ant colonies. Plump, wriggling ant larvae and helpless eggs sit waiting to be devoured, while hundreds of thousands of ants stand at the ready to ...

Abstract: Low earth orbit (LEO) satellite networks can provide wider service coverage and lower latency than traditional terrestrial networks, which have attracted considerable attention. However, the ...

Ant colony system (ACS) based algorithm for the dynamic vehicle routing problem with time windows (DVRPTW). For more details, see this paper "Necula, R., Breaban, M., & Raschip, M.: Tackling Dynamic ...

"By warning the colony of their deadly infection, terminally ill ants help the colony remain healthy and produce daughter colonies, which indirectly pass on the signaler’s genes to the next generation ...

Ant pupae that are fatally sick don’t hide their condition; instead, they release a special scent that warns the rest of the colony. This signal prompts worker ants to open the pupae’s cocoons and ...
