SWARM INTELLIGENCE. "Ants aren't smart. Ant colonies are. A colony can solve problems unthinkable for individual ants, such as finding the shortest path to the best food source, allocating workers to different tasks, or defending a territory from neighbors. As individuals, ants might be tiny dummies, but as colonies they respond quickly and effectively to their environment. They do it with something called swarm intelligence"."

WEB SWARM. "When you type in a search query, Google surveys billions of Web pages on its index servers to identify the most relevant ones. It then ranks them by the number of pages that link to them, counting links as votes (the most popular sites get weighted votes, since they're more likely to be reliable). The pages that receive the most votes are listed first in the search results. In this way, Google says, it "uses the collective intelligence of the Web to determine a page's importance.""

SMART SWARMS, a handy review. " " http://lnkd.in/bh8strD View in LinkedIn

NUMBER OF NEURONS, rankings of species (implicit of intelligence) may be quaint, since even plants have recently been shown doing mathematics, and they do not have any neurons. And swarm intelligence of insects, fish, and flocking birds is not even a metric. " " http://lnkd.in/bGdp6eN. View in LinkedIn

ANTHROPOLOGISTS have made much about brain size, volume, and number of neurons, since the Victorians, despite some bothersome anomalies in the facts. "Even insect brains are far too complex to be fully understood in the near future. Perhaps we will have misjudged the intelligence of ants."" " http://lnkd.in/bNvB4vi View in LinkedIn

NATURAL REMEDY. "Synthetic biologists bioengineered E. coli bacteria in a way that causes them to hunt down and kill the gram negative bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It’s a frequent cause of hospital-acquired infections like pneumonia and bloodstream infections."" " http://lnkd.in/b2bc-KT View in LinkedIn

DARPA'S BIOMIMICRY for computers. "Last year, scientists working on SyNAPSE announced they’d simulated 100 trillion synapses from a monkey brain on Sequoia, one of the world’s most powerful supercomputers. Now, instead of simply writing brain-inspired algorithms for traditional systems, they’ve invented an entirely new “neuromorphic” chip, True North, and an accompanying programming language to build applications on it.""
