Hydrogels can play Pong by ‘remembering’ previous patterns of electrical simulation
Non-living hydrogels can play the video game Pong and improve their gameplay with more experience, researchers report. The researchers hooked hydrogels up to a virtual game environment and then applied a feedback loop between the hydrogel’s paddle — encoded by the distribution of charged particles within the hydrogel — and the ball’s position — encoded …
