Chemical computer

This article is about computation using molecular and chemical systems. For computation using single molecules as active elements, see Molecular scale electronics and Molecular logic gate.

A chemical computer, also called a reaction-diffusion computer, Belousov–Zhabotinsky (BZ) computer, or gooware computer, is an unconventional computer based on a semi-solid chemical "soup" where data are represented by varying concentrations of chemicals.[1] The computations are performed by naturally occurring chemical reactions.
