A new method is developed for the simulation of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) based on the molecular mechanics (MM) and cellular automata (CA) algorithms. The proposed atomic-based CA algorithm (ACAA) is as ...

A lizard can change its spots, and now scientists have shown that the process is a living version of a popular computing algorithm. The ocellated lizard begins life with brown skin that is peppered ...

In cellular automata, simple rules create elaborate structures. Now researchers can start with the structures and reverse-engineer the rules. Alexander Mordvintsev showed me two clumps of pixels on ...

Proposals for carrying out computing at the molecular level generally involve current-carrying circuitry, as in conventional computers. A possible alternative, using an electrostatically operating ...

Vol. 16, No. 1, (Special Issue) Time and Space: Scale Dependence of Vegetation Dynamics—Papers Presented at the 34th IAVS Symposium on Mechanisms in Vegetation Dynamics (1992), pp. 49-54 (6 pages) In ...

Well all know cellular automata from Conway’s Game of Life which simulates cellular evolution using rules based on the state of all eight adjacent cells. [Gavin] has been having fun playing with ...

When von Neumann created the first system of cellular automata in the '40s it was purportedly to study self-replicating robots. It's taken this long for someone to finally figure out his true ...
