Nature builds transport networks better than humans. Riverbeds and leaf veins are ready-made textbooks on efficiency. Scientists are developing a method to apply these ideas to the roads of the future, making them cheap, resilient, and unafraid of traffic. No magic—just a battle against chaos.
🎯 That very slime mold built a replica of the Tokyo metro faster and more efficiently than a team of engineers—simply by crawling toward oat flakes placed on a map.
