Abstract

This study investigates the computational properties of ZnO colloids in combination with proteinoid microspheres within an unconventional computing framework. We propose a method for creating flexible and fault-tolerant logic gates utilising this colloidal system. The colloidal matrix receives binary strings with an electrical impulse representing a logical “True” and its absence representing a “False”. Electrical responses are recorded, and Boolean functions are extracted. This nano-bio hybrid of ZnO colloids and proteinoids has the potential to power next-generation unconventional computing systems that can adapt to changing environments, paving the way for novel nano-bio hybrid computing architectures.
