This is a really remarkable place, just outside Marsala. A definite highlight of my trip to Sicily. Fascinating to see the quarry itself but also the plants, and to hear the history from the delightful guides. …ve-la-citta-scavata-dai.business.site

Type 'leave twitter' into twitter's search box - and get a deluge of results encouraging you not to. I think that has probably settled the question for me.

Excited to see this in print today. Boolean logic and pattern classification using our neuron-like spikes. My student Sofie did a stunning job on this. Computation via Neuron-like Spiking in Percolating Networks of Nanoparticles | Nano Letters pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Excited to share our latest work, just out in Advanced Materials. Experimental demonstration of reservoir computing with self-assembled percolating networks of nanoparticles. Includes spoken digit recognition. doi.org/10.1002/adma.2…

Simon Brown and colleagues from University of Canterbury present a first step in the emulation of complex emergent biological behaviors such as swarming, opening a new route to the solution of complex optimization problems, using percolating networks of nanoparticles (PNNs) iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108…

Pretty amazing that networks of nanoparticles can be trained so that an agent can follow another, or so that several agents can autonomously generate swarming behaviour. doi.org/10.1088/2634-4… Courtesy of a lot of work from my student Zac Heywood.

This is really cool! My student Sofie Studholme has figured out how to use our percolating networks of nanoparticles to solve optimisation problems, and in particular to factorise integers! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…
