Scientists have been conducting research on this high-level organization of ants, choosing the next queen from the way of building life rafts and flood colonization. New technologies help drive researchers' understanding and many are still being discovered. Fire ants living in Brazilian forests are fully adapted to the environment and prone to flooding. Self-rescued from drowning, their legs were locked together and created into a 20 centimeter wide floating crotch.
According to mechanical engineer David, ants know how to lock themselves. He said: "You can imagine that if you have a hundred ants, this means that there will be more than 600 legs. Ninety-nine percent of the legs will be connected to a neighbor so they are very good at maintaining the network and discovering their secrets. Engineering, his colleagues at the Georgia Institute of Technology discovered the frozen ant hibiscus, and then analyzed the CT scanner. They found that large ants act as small ants in the center, form air masses, and survive in keeping.
Scientists say that small robots or advanced materials can configure themselves to program in a similar manner toward a common goal. North Carolina State University researchers studied how Indian hop ants chose colonial leaders when they lost their Queen. Researcher Clint Penick said that ordinary worker ants are females in the championship battle. After giving the ants more color to observe, Penick's team noticed that some workers became more physically dominant, triggering the release of certain hormones.
