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

The book introduces a hot topic of novel and emerging computing paradigms and
architectures-computation by travelling waves in reaction-diffusion media. A reaction-diffusion …

In 1970 Martin Gardner spelled out the rules of a new solitaire game forged by John Horton
Conway. 1 An unparalleled combination of functional simplicity with behavioural complexity …

… about computing it is also worth looking at Chaudhuri's text [11] on cellular-automata based
solutions of various codes and combinatorial logics, and Sipper's [22] and Adamatzky's [2] …

Fungal electronics is a family of living electronic devices made of mycelium bound composites
or pure mycelium. Fungal electronic devices are capable of changing their impedance …

Using memristors one can achieve circuit functionalities that are not possible to establish with
resistors, capacitors and inductors, therefore the memristor is of great pragmatic usefulness…

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 …

This book presents the foundation and development of the theory of cellular automata
identification and its application to natural systems. It first sets out the known and proposes the …

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 photosensitive sub-excitable Belousov–Zhabotinsky medium exhibits propagating wave
fragments that preserve their shapes during substantial periods of time. In numerical studies …
