Let's start with a simple game, due to John Conway, called the Game of Life. Start with a grid of squares and color each square either black or white (dead or alive). Each square has eight neighbors, ...

In a new study published in Physical Review Letters, researchers used machine learning to discover multiple new classes of ...

Might treating binary numbers as cellular automata be helpful for the design and implementation of a digital binary counter? As most readers already know, counting in binary is similar to counting in ...

Well all know cellular automata from Conway’s Game of Life which simulates cellular evolution using rules based on the state of all eight adjacent cells. [Gavin] has been having fun playing with ...

Wolfram Research’s A New Kind of Science Explorer software kit provides an easy, animated introduction to the book A New Kind of Science, by company founder Stephen Wolfram. He claims that cellular ...

Stephen Wolfram, inventor of the Wolfram computational language and the Mathematica software, announced that he may have found a path to the holy grail of physics: A fundamental theory of everything.
