Stanford engineers build a water-droplet based computer that runs like clockwork
Manu Prakash, an assistant professor of bioengineering at Stanford, and his students have developed a synchronous computer that operates using the unique physics of moving water droplets. Their goal is to design a new class of computers that can precisely control and manipulate physical matter. For more info: http://news.stanford.edu/news/2015/ju…
