Research in substrate-based computing has shown that materials contain rich properties
that can be exploited to solve computational problems. One such technique known as …

Recent work has shown that computational substrates made from carbon nanotube/polymer
mixtures can form trainable Reservoir Computers. This new reservoir computing platform …

Actin filaments are conductive to ionic currents, mechanical and voltage solitons. These
travelling localisations can be utilised to generate computing circuits from actin networks …

This paper explores the use of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT)/poly (butyl
methacrylate) composites as a material for use in unconventional computing. The …

Evolution in Materio (EIM) exploits properties of physical systems for computation.“Designs”
are evolved instead of a traditional top down design approach. Computation is a product of …

Evolution-in-materio concerns the computer controlled manipulation of material systems
using external stimuli to train or evolve the material to perform a useful function. In this paper …

Natural evolution has been manipulating the properties of proteins for billions of years. This
'design process' is completely different to conventional human design which assembles well …

We report on the use of a liquid crystalline host medium to align single-walled carbon
nanotubes in an electric field using an in-plane electrode configuration. Electron microscopy …

Modern computers allow a methodical search of possibly billions of experiments and the
exploitation of interactions that are not known in advance. This enables a bottom-up process …

We report our experiences of attempting to configure a single-walled carbon nanotube
(SWCNT)/polymer composite material deposited on a micro-electrode array to carry out two …
