  <title><![CDATA[Researchers Are Studying These Worm Blobs to Build Robots]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>Wired Magazine burrows deeper into how two Georgia Tech researchers from the School of&nbsp;Physics studied California blackworms&#39; collective behavior. The idea is to see how that behavior could lead to building intelligent swarms of robots, or programmable&nbsp;active matter -- materials that can change shape, just like the blobs of blackworms studied by professor <a href="https://physics.gatech.edu/user/daniel-goldman">Dan Goldman</a> and postdoctoral researcher <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=1dP-4M0AAAAJ&amp;hl=en">Yasemin Ozkan-Aydin.</a></p>
