Phase transitions enable computational universality in neuristor-based cellular automata.
We recently demonstrated that Mott memristors, two-terminal devices that exhibit threshold switching via an insulator to conductor phase transition, can serve as the active components necessary to build a neuristor, a biomimetic threshold spiking device. Here we extend those results to demonstrate, in simulation, neuristor-based circuits capable of performing general Boolean logic operations. W...
متن کاملRNA Controls PolyQ Protein Phase Transitions.
Compartmentalization in cells is central to the spatial and temporal control of biochemistry. In addition to membrane-bound organelles, membrane-less compartments form partitions in cells. Increasing evidence suggests that these compartments assemble through liquid-liquid phase separation. However, the spatiotemporal control of their assembly, and how they maintain distinct functional and physi...
متن کاملNeuropeptides control life-phase transitions.
The growth toward adulthood occurs mainly through one or several intermediate stages or larval forms. Driven by environmental and internal state cues, all animals undergo one or more transitions during their life, which are accompanied by changes in morphology, physiology, and behavior. Larval settlement in the annelid Platynereis dumerilii is a prime example of such a life-phase transition. In...
متن کاملNUMERICAL SIMULATIONS OF THE PHASE TRANSITIONS IN CLUSTERS
We have studied the phase transitions in atomic clusters by molecular dynamics simulation, assuming Lennard-Jones interatomic pair potential. Calculations are performed by DAP parallel computer. The results are analyzed by simulating their orientational distribution plots (dot-plot), and neutron diffraction patterns. It is shown that all the main features of the bulk phase transitions are e...
متن کاملPhase Transitions in the Computational Complexity of "Elementary'' Cellular Automata
A study of the computational complexity of determining the "Garden-of-Eden" states (i.e., states without any pre-images) of one-dimensional cellular automata (CA) is reported. The work aims to relate phase transitions in the computational complexity of decision problems, with the type of dynamical behavior exhibited by the CA time evolution. This is motivated by the observation of critical beha...
