Imagine a world in which engineered cells, plants, tissues and nonliving yet biologically active entities are integrated into our everyday lives and have critical roles in solving grand challenges in ...

In cellular automata, simple rules create elaborate structures. Now researchers can start with the structures and reverse-engineer the rules. Alexander Mordvintsev showed me two clumps of pixels on ...

The design of cryptographic hash functions is crucial for ensuring the security of digital information. In this context, cellular automata (CAs) have emerged as a promising tool due to their inherent ...
