Do Plants Practice Grid Computing? ... David Peak and co-workers at Utah State University in Logan say that plants may regulate their uptake and loss of gases by 'distributed computation' -- a kind of information processing that involves communication between many interacting units. Nature adds this is similar to signals exchanged by ants to find the best source of food for an ant community....
