The bridges varied in width from a fifth to three-quarters of an inch. Then the researchers sat back and monitored the traffic. To their surprise, even when those na
30、rrower bridges were nearly overloaded, there were no 20-ant pile-ups. And traffic remained steady regardless of how crowed the bridges were because ants could adjust to the flow of road conditions. “When crowding on the path increased, ants assessed it locally and adjusted their speed accordingly to
31、 avoid any interruption of traffic flow,“ the researchers said. “Moreover, ants avoided entering a crowded path and made sure the bridge was never overloaded.“ The lesson for humans? The traffic problem mostly lies in our loss of the quality that the ants have. Youve probably noticed it on your own
32、commute to work. Driving is fun when therere few cars on the road-a lane-change(车道变换)here, a little acceleration there. Then traffic slows down. But some impatient drivers still constantly move between lanes. “Traffic jams are common in human society where some people are focusing on their own perso
33、nal objectives,“ the researchers said. “In contrast, ants share a common goal: the survival of the colony, thus theyre expected to act cooperatively to get food.“ The research also suggests that the ever-widening of highways may never free us from traffic jams. As long as we drive along with our own

That plate is sealed under a transparent cover and surrounded with materials that keep heat out. It stays cooler than the surrounding air by
