Superhydrophobic Droplet Logic: Computing with Water Droplets

A recent article published by Mertaniemi et al. of Molecular Materials Research Groups in Advanced Materialshas gained national and international media attention, as it shows a new concept for computing, using water droplets as bits of digital information (see the videos below).
