Traveling with friends can help migrating animals get where they're going, even when they go astray, researchers say.

A technique that allows autonomous cars to make relevant calculations more quickly showed it improves both traffic and safety in simulated situations.

New research clarifies how the brain differentiates between similar spatial environments, like two stores from the same supermarket chain.

New work on quantum entanglement could "improve the performance of any application that requires a network of sensors," researchers report.

A new gyroscope, so small it can fit on the tip of your finger, could help drones and driverless cars stay on track without a GPS signal.

Rheobase neurons focus on keeping you headed in the right direction over long periods of time, new research in mice shows.

By having people navigate a virtual town, researchers gained new insight into how our brains perceive places and help us navigate our environment.

For learning about digital spaces in virtual reality, it may not matter whether we control our movement with a joystick or our bodies.

A new technique can boost tracking for devices while they're indoors where GPS doesn't work. It could help us get around places like airports.

The way a barn owl can use sound to home in on its prey could pave way for electronic navigation devices that mimic an owl's brain.
