How does a ‘genius without a brain’ make decisions? By trapping #SlimeMold inside polygons made of harmful blue light, a PRX Life study found that these organisms explore nearly the entire boundary before settling on the best escape route.

ALT A time series of bright field images of a grid of four slime molds captured at two minute intervals over a 24 hour period, showing two rectangles on the left and two triangles on the right. A scale bar shows 5 micrometers in the lower right hand corner.

A collaborative math project, started by Terence Tao, showed that mathematics could be conducted experimentally, and worked on by large groups of mathematicians at once. In doing so, it turned up something genuinely new.
