Polymer-like worms wriggle their way through mazes Date: March 27, 2025 Source: Universiteit van Amsterdam Summary: In a crowded room, we naturally move slower than in an empty space.

Identifying the right active polymer model was no easy task, says Jabbari Farouji. One challenge was to incorporate the way worms adjust their flexibility depending on their surroundings. “This ...
