Nowadays, information processing is based on semiconductor (e.g., silicon) devices. Unfortunately, the performance of such devices has natural limitations owing to the physics of semiconductors. Therefore, the problem of finding new strategies for storing and processing an ever-increasing amount of diverse data is very urgent. To solve this problem, scientists have found inspiration in nature, because living organisms have developed uniquely productive and efficient mechanisms for processing and storing information. We address several biological aspects of information and artificial models mimicking corresponding bioprocesses. For instance, we review the formation of synchronization patterns and the emergence of order out of chaos in model chemical systems. We also consider molecular logic and ion fluxes as information carriers. Finally, we consider recent progress in infochemistry, a new direction at the interface of chemistry, biology, and computer science, considering unconventional methods of information processing.

信息化学和化学信息处理的未来
如今,信息处理是基于半导体(例如,硅)设备。不幸的是,由于半导体的物理特性,这种器件的性能具有天然的局限性。因此,寻找新的策略来存储和处理不断增加的多样化数据的问题非常紧迫。为了解决这个问题,科学家们在自然界中找到了灵感,因为生物体已经发展出独特的生产和高效机制来处理和存储信息。我们解决了模拟相应生物过程的信息和人工模型的几个生物学方面。例如,我们回顾了模型化学系统中同步模式的形成和混乱中有序的出现。我们还将分子逻辑和离子通量视为信息载体。最后,
