From: http://spectrum.ieee.org/robotics/artificial-intelligence/moneta-a-mind-made-from-memristors/0 Researchers have suspected for decades that real artificial intelligence can’t be done on traditional hardware, with its rigid adherence to Boolean logic and vast separation between memory and processing. But that knowledge was of little use until about

“Biological evolution is the open-ended evolution of DNA units breeding new DNA units in a library that is ever-expanding and without known boundaries.” “Gerald Joyce, the molecular breeder, says he is happily into “evolving molecules for fun and profit.” But

Electroactive polymers

Electroactive polymers definition from wikipedia: Electroactive Polymers, or EAPs, are polymers that exhibits a change in size or shape when stimulated by an electric field. The most common applications of this type of material are in actuators and sensors. A
