“Smart” microswimmers—those that can sense mechanical cues from their surroundings and respond to them—can learn to take advantage of their environment, escaping bad situations and actively seeking more favorable ones.

A pair of long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments, T2K and NOvA, probe whether μ and τ neutrinos maximally mix, as experiments have heretofore shown. T2K’s data is consistent with maximal mixing, but NOvA’s data disfavors it.
