Abstract
We study electrical properties of Taxol-stabilised microtubule (MT) ensembles in a droplet of water. We demonstrate that the MT droplets act as electrical switches. Also, a stimulation of a MT droplet with a positive fast impulse causes oscillation of the droplet's resistance. The findings will pave a way towards future designs of MT-based sensing and computing devices, including data storage and featuring liquid state.
