Sodium acetate is a compound that is used for many things. In the food industry is used to accentuate the flavor and preservative. In textiles, to neutralize the sulfuric acid and, last but not least, to make those portable hand warmers. Do you know what? Are these gel packs with a metal disk inside that if you twist causes the solidification of the bag and release heat?
Well, there's an application that until now nobody had thought and is building computers. As I read, Andrew Adamatzky of the University of the West of England made a computer based on sodium acetate.
