19、t microbial（微生 物的）life on Mars.Landing on Mars is extremely tricky .The Red Planet, s gravitational（弓I 力的）pull causes approaching spacecraft to go faster to high speeds,while its thin atmosphere-just 1 percent that of Earth s-does little to help slow it down as it approaches the surface.The scientis

27、their nests and sources of food.The survival of their colonies depends on doing this efficiently.When humans commute,there? s a point at which cars become dense （稠密的）enough to slow down the flow of traffic,causing a jam.Researchers wanted to know if ants on the move could also get stuck.So they regu

28、lated traffic density by constructing bridges of various widths between a colony of Argentine ants and a source of food.Then they waited and watched,trying to find out at what point they were going to have a traffic jam.But it appeared that that never happened.They always managed to avoid a traffic

29、jam.The flow of ants did increase in the beginning as ants started to fill the bridge and then leveled off at high density.But it never slowed down or stopped,even when the bridge was nearly filled with ants.The researchers then took a closer look at how the behaviour of individual ants impacted tra

30、ffic as a whole.And they found that when ants sense overcrowding,they adjust their speeds and avoid entering high-density areas,which prevents jams.Their behaviour may be promoted by pheromones,chemicals that can tell other ants where a trail is.The ants also manage to avoid colliding（碰撞）with each o

31、ther at high density,which could really slow them down.Can ants help us solve our own traffic problems?Not likely.That? s because when it comes to getting from point A to point B as fast as possible,human drivers put their own goals first.Individual ants have to be more cooperative in order to feed

Avoiding jams.How did the researchers
