Digital electronics is so widely used in everyday life that it is almost impossible to find an
electric device that does not make use of digital electronic components. On average, 85% of …

We review experimental and theoretical studies on the design and control of spatiotemporal
behavior in chemical systems. A wide range of approaches have been pursued to control …

We demonstrate universal computation in an all-fluidic two-phase microfluidic system.
Nonlinearity is introduced into an otherwise linear, reversible, low–Reynolds number flow …

A Physarum machine is a programmable amorphous biological computer experimentally
implemented in the vegetative state of true slime mould Physarum polycephalum. It …

Living cells are able to produce a wide variety of biological responses when subjected to
biochemical stimuli. It has become apparent that these biological responses are regulated …

Miniaturization has been an essential ingredient in the outstanding progress of information
technology over the past fifty years. The next, perhaps ultimate, limit of miniaturization is that …

Living organisms employ chemical self-organization to build structures, and inspire new
strategies to design synthetic systems that spontaneously take a particular form, via a …

Computing in Nonlinear Media and Automata Collectives presents an account of new ways
to design massively parallel computing devices in advanced mathematical models, such as …

A substrate does not have to be solid to compute. It is possible to make a computer purely
from a liquid. I demonstrate this using a variety of experimental prototypes where a liquid …

We propose that fungi Basidiomycetes can be used as computing devices: information is
represented by spikes of electrical activity, a computation is implemented in a mycelium …
