Automata theory and formal languages form the mathematical foundation of computation, characterising the capabilities and limitations of abstract machines and the languages they recognise. Rooted in ...

A small team of researchers at the University of Manchester has developed a technique for creating a molecular-based, finite-state machine. Their research was published in the journal Nature. In ...

Cellular automata (CA) are discrete, spatially extended dynamical systems in which simple, local update rules give rise to complex global patterns. Each automaton consists of a lattice of cells, each ...
