In cellular automata, simple rules create elaborate structures. Now researchers can start with the structures and ...

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 ...
