When lipid vesicles filled with Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) excitable chemical medium are packed in tight assembles, waves of excitation may travel between the vesicles. When several waves meet in a vesicle some fragments may deflect, others can annihilate or continue their travel undisturbed. By interpreting waves as Boolean values we can construct logical gates and assemble them in large circuits. In numerical modelling we show two architectures of one-bit half-adders implemented in BZ-vesicles.
当充满别洛索夫-扎博京斯基(BZ)可激发化学介质的脂质囊泡紧密聚集时,激发波可能在囊泡之间传播。当几列波在一个囊泡中相遇时,一些波片段可能会偏转,其他的可能会湮灭或不受干扰地继续传播。通过将波解释为布尔值,我们可以构建逻辑门并将它们组装成大型电路。在数值模拟中,我们展示了在BZ囊泡中实现的一位半加器的两种架构。
