Cellular Automata Applications Provide Solutions to Biological Phenomena

摘要

An international research team made up of scientists from the United States and Japan has created a molecular computer, enabling it to think and react in a manner similar to the human brain. Just as brain cells cooperate concurrently, the computer uses the cellular automata of the molecules, interacting with each other, to form new patterns as data is entered through the use of a scanning tunneling microscope. Further separating it from other computing systems, the molecules of this computer can rebuild and heal themselves through the continuous reorganization.
