The dry history of liquid computers

Arxiv  November 25, 2018
A liquid can be used to represent signals, actuate mechanical computing devices and to modify signals via chemical reactions. Researchers in the UK give a brief overview of liquid-based computing devices developed over hundreds of years. These include hydraulic calculators, fluidic computers, micro-fluidic devices, droplets, liquid marbles and reaction-diffusion chemical computers…read more. Open Access TECHNICAL ARTICLE
