Nature is a powerful information processor, and computation is not limited to silicon chips. In this talk, we explore unconventional computing using substrates such as slime mold, fungi, plants, colloids, proteins, and crystallization. These living and physical systems exhibit complex behaviors that can be harnessed for problem-solving, pattern recognition, and decision-making. From bio-inspired algorithms to self-organizing materials, we will discuss how these unconventional platforms challenge our understanding of computation and open new frontiers in technology.
