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 ...

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 ...

A probabilistic cellular automaton (PCA) can be viewed as a Markov chain. The cells are updated synchronously and independently, according to a distribution depending on a finite neighborhood. We ...

There’s a time in every geek’s development when they learn of Conway’s Game of Life. This is usually followed by an afternoon spent on discovering that the standard rule set has been chosen because ...
