Plant intelligence for better swarm robots Plants scientists are teaming up with marine biologists, medical researchers and experts in computational intelligence to produce better robot swarms able to negotiate unpredictable terrain. Robot swarms are made up of hundreds of tiny robots working together. The way plants work will provide valuable insights into how to make individual robots work for the benefit of the swarm. For example, plants are able to sprout new shoots to catch light or seek out nutrients in the soil for the whole plant.

Using 1 grant to tackle 2 diseases Specialized cells, called "hematopoietic stem cells," produce the new blood cells. Scientists thought hematopoietic stem cells stayed in the bone marrow but recent research has revealed that they travel to the problem site: to the heart if a heart attack is in progress, or to the brain in the case of a stroke. Jennifer Gillette, Ph.D., will study why these cells leave the bone marrow and what they do when they reach their target.
