February 25, 2011 - The bumblebee doesn't look like much of a flyer, but a closer inspection of its flight mechanism reveals interesting physics.

May 12, 2022 - At first glance, a system consisting of 51 ions may appear easily manageable. But even if these charged atoms are only changed back and forth between two states, the result is more than two quadrillion (1015) different orderings that the system can take on.

March 1, 2012 - Bumblebee flight patterns reveal how the presence of spiders causes bees to modify their foraging strategies.

January 15, 2016 - The team inserted a model bumblebee into the wind tunnel and set the flight speed at 2.5 meters per second.

The primary findings are as the following. The forward flight of the bumblebee is not dynamically stable due to the existence of one (or two) unstable or approximately neutrally stable natural modes of motion.

May 19, 2024 - A quantum system with only 51 charged atoms can take on more than two quadrillion different states. Calculating the system's behavior is child's play for a quantum simulator. But verifying the result is almost impossible, even with today's supercomputers. A research team has now shown how these ...

February 1, 2005 - The longitudinal dynamic flight stability of a hovering bumblebee was studied using the method of computational fluid dynamics to compute the aerodynamic derivatives and the techniques of eigenvalue and eigenvector analysis for solving the equations of motion.

February 1, 2008 - The primary findings are as the following. The forward flight of the bumblebee is not dynamically stable due to the existence of one (or two) unstable or approximately neutrally stable natural modes of motion.

The movement of organisms is subject to a multitude of influences of widely varying character: from the bio-mechanics of the individual, over the interaction with the complex environment many animals live in, to evolutionary pressure and energy constraints. As the number of factors is large, ...

May 16, 2022 - Quantum simulator provides insights into the dynamics of complex quantum systems. At first glance, a system consisting of 51 ions may appear to be easily manageable. But even if these charged atoms are only switched back and forth between two states, the result is more than two quadrillion (1015) d

May 13, 2022 - A quantum system consisting of only 51 charged atoms can assume more than two quadrillion different states. Calculating the system’s behavior is a piece of cake for a quantum simulator....

April 23, 2024 - Typically in these models, spontaneous Lorentz violation is caused by the presence of a potential term in the action. The vacuum value bμ, along with a background metric, give a solution that minimizes the bumblebee potential.

January 3, 2024 - Explore the anatomy, flight mechanisms, wing adaptations, flight patterns, energy expenditure, speed, and evolution of bumblebee flight. Learn how bumblebees defy gravity.

The "bumblebee argument", or argumentum ad bombum, in pseudoscience, states that the laws of aerodynamics prove that the bumblebee can't fly, as it does not have the required capacity (in terms of wing area or flapping speed). Consequently, therefore, science can be shown to be in error, providing ...

Understanding strategies used by animals to explore their landscape is essential to predict how they exploit patchy resources, and consequently how they are likely to respond to changes in resource distribution. Social bees provide a good model for this ...

The natural wind environment that volant insects encounter is unsteady and highly complex, posing significant flight-control and stability challenges. It is critical to understand the strategies insects employ to safely navigate in natural environments. We combined experiments on free flying ...

August 8, 2019 - The notion that scientists proved bumblebees can't fly has a long legacy.
