Combinational Logic in Soft, Conductive Mechanical Integrated Circuit Materials (Postprint)

Abstract

Information processing is a key function of autonomous engineered materials, since the comparison and assessment of input signals is crucialto determine intelligent material responses. Recent research has developed emerging methods of mechanical computing to realize fundamentallogic gates in soft matter. Here, we uncover a relation between Boolean mathematics and mechanically reconfigurable electrical circuits torealize the functioning of all combinational logic operations in soft, conductive mechanical materials.
