You probably have seen dozens of scenes in sci-fi, futuristic films depicting little robots -- like the tiny spy-bots zipping around in The Matrix, searching for Neo, Morpheus, and Trinity. Well, the future is now.
Computer scientists at Harvard have created a "swarm" of more than one thousand little robots that collaborate to form symbols or patterns similar to the way stars cluster in the sky or ants work together to accomplish tasks or cells interact in a human body.
Once directed, the bots are self-assembling and autonomous. They fix problems and correct their mistakes to accomplish their goal. As they work, they are self-organizing and operate without human intervention. In a catchy demonstration, the bots swarm like bees to form letters of the alphabet and shapes such as stars.

STUDY SAYS BODY LANGUAGE INDICATES LEARNING ABILITY AND CREATIVITY
Stanford researchers say that your creativity and your ability to learn may be revealed in your body language.
Using big data analysis, two scientists at the California
university discovered that students’ movements during a teacher-learner interaction
indicated whether or not they were about to learn. Students with extreme movements did not learn
as well as others.
In a separate study aimed at measuring creativity, the same researchers
observed teams of presenters offering solutions to a problem. They found that the more synchronized the
head movements of the team members, the more creative they were.
The scientists indicated that the findings of these studies
could have significant impact in the business world and in the field of education.

MAKE YOUR BRAIN STRONGER
Scientists are very busy these days trying to figure out how to strengthen the brain. And who doesn't want a stronger brain?
Fortunately, the research is finding that strengthening the brain may be accomplished without too much difficulty, in ways that are accessible to the average person. The methods may even be fun and rewarding.
Activities might include:
Of course, though this research is good news for most, the findings are general and may not apply to any specific individual. Consulting with a medical doctor would be in order before engaging a new diet or strenuous activity.

Fortunately, the research is finding that strengthening the brain may be accomplished without too much difficulty, in ways that are accessible to the average person. The methods may even be fun and rewarding.
Activities might include:
- Picking up a new skill (for example, learning a language or a musical instrument can stimulate corresponding brain areas)
- Physical activity (can increase blood flow)
- Volunteering (teaching, for example, can refine cognitive abilities)
- Napping (sleep is refreshing and can help the brain organize better)
- Eating certain foods (for example, blueberries, nuts, green, leafy vegetables, and foods with anti-oxidants)
- Increasing social activities (relating to friends can keep stress levels under control)
Of course, though this research is good news for most, the findings are general and may not apply to any specific individual. Consulting with a medical doctor would be in order before engaging a new diet or strenuous activity.
