Can robots in a swarm act like the cells of an organism? Thanks to Sedeer El-Showk for the new article in @nature.com, which highlights the work of a number of research groups, including our own, on how “Robots demonstrate principles of collective intelligence”. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I moved to the UK during "Britain's failed experiment in open borders". The company I co-founded has created >100 jobs, and my wife and I are raising two British kids. If the UK is becoming an "island of strangers", it's because the country is demonising and isolating immigrants like me

Astronomers have found that Earth is the only liveable planet any of us can live on. There might be another planet very, very far away. The planet is unfortunately too far away, so will not be an alternative for humans to live on. We only have this planet - so we better make the most of it.
Astronomers Detect a Possible Signature of Life on a Distant Planet
Further studies are needed to determine whether K2-18b, which orbits a star 120 light-years away, is inhabited, or even habitable.
