Caterpillars provide a useful survival model: They do not escape predators by running but instead use camouflage, chemical defenses and cryptic behavior. As a result, their movement crawling has evolved into a highly spec...A possible new form of 'supersolid' matter

... Bair's graduate students, to construct a computer animation of a typical set of model results. Metheny ran hundreds of simulations with the plume model to address uncertainties such as the release dates of TCE and PCE, and the concentration of the releases. She then compared the simulated concentrations of TC...Real-time 'movies' will predict wildfire behavior for one hour

For example, by changing the pH gradient in the virtual cell, the researchers could reproduce the responses of a real cell.
