Do you remember learning to swim? Fish larvae are pretty feeble when it comes to an efficient mode of swimming called 'burst-and-coast.' Dr Ulrike Müller from Wageningen University will discuss why ...

A simulation shows in detail why the “burst-and-coast” swimming strategy is often more efficient than continuous swimming. The burst-and-coast pattern used by some fish can be more efficient than ...

Swimming in schools give fish an energetic advantage, a new study shows. Scientists developed a highly detailed simulation of the complex interplay between swimming fish and their flow environment.

Researchers have found the best arrangements for fish swimming in schools, superior formations that save energy and optimize speed. The findings, which appear in the journal Physical Review X, point ...

"It's widely known that swimming in groups provides fish with added protection from predators, but we questioned whether it also contributes to reducing their noise," said senior author Rajat Mittal. ...

Researchers have a new idea about why fish swim in schools. Turns out when fish swim together in turbulent water, they use nearly 80% less energy. LEILA FADEL, HOST: Yangfan Zhang studies animal ...

Just as you might look down at the sidewalk as you walk, fish look downward when they swim, a new study by a Northwestern University-led international collaboration has confirmed. The study is the ...

Underwater vehicles haven’t changed much since the submarines of World War II. They’re rigid, fairly boxy and use propellers to move. And whether they are large manned vessels or small robots, most ...
