On architectures of circuits implemented in simulated Belousov-Zhabotinsky droplets

When lipid vesicles filled with Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) excitable chemical medium are packed in tight assembles, waves of excitation may travel between the vesicles. When several waves meet in a vesicle some fragments may deflect, others can annihilate or continue their travel undisturbed. By interpreting waves as Boolean values we can construct logical gates and assemble them in large circuits. In numerical modelling we show two architectures of one-bit half-adders implemented in BZ-vesicles.
