A
chemical computer, also called reaction-diffusion computer, BZ computer (stands for
Belousov–Zhabotinsky computer) or gooware computer is an
unconventional computer based on a semi-solid chemical "soup" where data is represented by varying concentrations of chemicals. The computations are performed by naturally occurring
chemical reactions. So far it is still in a very early experimental stage, but may have great potential for the computer industry.
