Neuromorphic liquids, colloids and gels: A review (2022)
Journal Article

Advances in flexible electronic devices and robotic software require that sensors and controllers be virtually devoid of traditional electronic components, be deformable and stretch-resistant. Liquid electronic devices that mimic biological synapses... Read More about Neuromorphic liquids, colloids and gels: A review.

Chemical Wave Computing from Labware to Electrical Systems (2022)
Journal Article

Unconventional and, specifically, wave computing has been repeatedly studied in laboratory based experiments by utilizing chemical systems like a thin film of Belousov–Zhabotinsky (BZ) reactions. Nonetheless, the principles demonstrated by this chemi... Read More about Chemical Wave Computing from Labware to Electrical Systems.

Fungal electronics (2021)
Journal Article

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 and generating spikes of electrical potential in response to external co... Read More about Fungal electronics.

The world's colonization and trade routes formation as imitated by slime mould (2012)
Journal Article

The plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum is renowned for spanning sources of nutrients with networks of protoplasmic tubes. The networks transport nutrients and metabolites across the plasmodium's body. To imitate a hypothetical colonization of the wo...

Complex dynamics of elementary cellular automata emerging from chaotic rules (2012)
Journal Article

We show techniques of analyzing complex dynamics of cellular automata (CA) with chaotic behavior. CA are well-known computational substrates for studying emergent collective behavior, complexity, randomness and interaction between order and chaotic s...

Memristive excitable cellular automata (2011)
Journal Article

The memristor is a device whose resistance changes depending on the polarity and magnitude of a voltage applied to the device's terminals. We design a minimalistic model of a regular network of memristors using structurally-dynamic cellular automata.... Read More about Memristive excitable cellular automata.

Towards arithmetic circuits in sub-excitable chemical media (2011)
Journal Article

A sub-excitable Belousov-Zhabotinsky medium exhibits localized travelling excitations (in contrast to an excitable medium exhibiting target or spiral waves). Initially assymetric perturbations give birth to excitation wave-fragments. The shape and ve... Read More about Towards arithmetic circuits in sub-excitable chemical media.

Stochastic automated search methods in cellular automata: The discovery of tens of thousands of glider guns (2010)
Journal Article

This paper deals with the spontaneous emergence of glider guns in cellular automata. An evolutionary search for glider guns with different parameters is described and other search techniques are also presented to provide a benchmark. We demonstrate t...

The formation of voronoi diagrams in chemical and physical systems: Experimental findings and theoretical models (2004)
Journal Article

The work discusses the formation of Voronoi diagrams in spatially extended nonlinear systems taking experimental and theoretical results into account. Concerning experimental systems a number of chemical systems used previously as prototype chemical...
