The present review summarizes experimental and theoretical work dealing with self-
organized solitary localized structures (LSs) that are observed in spatially extended …

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 …

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

The travelling salesman problem (TSP) is a well known and challenging combinatorial
optimisation problem. Its computational intractability has attracted a number of heuristic …

We experimentally demonstrate that both Voronoi diagram and its dual graph Delaunay
triangulation are simultaneously constructed—for specific conditions—in cultures of …

Using the examples of an excitable chemical system (the Belousov–Zhabotinsky medium)
and plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum we show that universal computation in a …

The understanding of self-organized patterns in spatially extended nonlinear dissipative
systems is one of the most challenging subjects in modern natural sciences. Such patterns …

The plasmodium of slime mold Physarum polycephalum behaves as an amorphous reaction-
diffusion computing substrate and is capable of apparently 'intelligent'behavior. But how …

A three-state hexagonal cellular automaton, discovered in [Wuensche A. Glider dynamics in
3-value hexagonal cellular automata: the beehive rule. Int J Unconvention Comput, in …

In this paper experimental observations of self-organized patterns in resolidified thin films of
liquid superheated metals are reported. The superheated melt layers represent an example …
