Abstract :
An experimental model of artificial reaction-diffusion systems, which provides a foundation for constructing future massively parallel molecular computers, is proposed. The key idea is to control redox-active molecules in solution by an array of integrated microelectrodes and to realise artificially programmable reaction-diffusion dynamics in a very small amount of solution
