Propagation of electrical signals by fungi
Richard Mayne, Nic Roberts, Neil Phillips +2
Living fungal mycelium networks are proven to have properties of memristors, capacitors and various sensors. To further progress our designs in fungal electronics we need to evalua…
Fungal electronics
Andrew Adamatzky, Phil Ayres, Alexander E. Beasley +11
Fungal electronics is a family of living electronic devices made of mycelium bound composites or pure mycelium. Fungal electronic devices are capable of changing their impedance an…
On stimulating fungi with Cortisol
Mohammad Mahdi Dehshibi, Alessandro Chiolerio, Anna Nikolaidou +4
Fungi cells are capable of sensing extracellular cues through reception, transduction and response systems which allow them to communicate with their host and adapt to their enviro…
On Boolean gates in fungal colony
Andrew Adamatzky, Martin Tegelaar, Han A. B. Wosten +3
A fungal colony maintains its integrity via flow of cytoplasm along mycelium network. This flow, together with possible coordination of mycelium tips propagation, is controlled by…
Liquid Marble Photosensor
Andrew Adamatzky, Michail-Antisthenis Tsompanas, Thomas C. Draper +1
A liquid marble is a liquid droplet coated by a hydrophobic power. The liquid marble does not wet adjacent surfaces and therefore can be manipulated as a dry soft body. A Belousov-…
On resistance switching and oscillations in tubulin microtubule droplets
Alessandro Chiolerio, Thomas C. Draper, Richard Mayne +1
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 stimula…
Neuromorphic Liquid Marbles With Aqueous Carbon Nanotube Cores
Richard Mayne, Thomas C. Draper, Neil Phillips +5
Neuromorphic computing devices attempt to emulate features of biological nervous systems through mimicking the properties of synapses, towards implementing the emergent properties…
Towards Experimental P-systems using multivesicular liposomes
Richard Mayne, Neil Phillips, Andrew Adamatzky
P-systems are abstract computational models inspired by the phospholipid bilayer membranes generated by biological cells. Illustrated here is a mechanism by which recursive liposom…
When the path is never shortest: a reality check on shortest path biocomputation
Richard Mayne
Shortest path problems are a touchstone for evaluating the computing performance and functional range of novel computing substrates. Much has been published in recent years regardi…
Slime mould: the fundamental mechanisms of cognition
Jordi Vallverdu, Oscar Castro, Richard Mayne +7
The slime mould Physarum polycephalum has been used in developing unconventional computing devices for in which the slime mould played a role of a sensing, actuating, and computing…
Computers from plants we never made. Speculations
Andrew Adamatzky, Simon Harding, Victor Erokhin +5
We discuss possible designs and prototypes of computing systems that could be based on morphological development of roots, interaction of roots, and analog electrical computation w…
On hybrid circuits exploiting thermistive properties of slime mould
Xavier Alexis Walter, Ian Horsfield, Richard Mayne +2
Slime mould Physarum polycephalum is a single cell visible by unaided eye. Let the slime mould span two electrodes with a single protoplasmic tube: if the tube is heated to approxi…
Living Wires - Effects of Size and Coating of Gold Nanoparticles in Altering the Electrical Properties of Physarum polycephalum and Lettuce Seedlings
Nina Gizzie, Richard Mayne, Shlomo Yitzchaik +2
The manipulation of biological substrates is becoming more popular route towards generating novel computing devices. Physarum polycephalum is used as a model organism in biocomputi…
Practical circuits with Physarum Wires
James G. H. Whiting, Richard Mayne, Nadine Moody +2
Purpose: Protoplasmic tubes of Physarum polycephalum, also know as Physarum Wires (PW), have been previously suggested as novel bio- electronic components. Until recently, practica…
Representation of Shape Mediated by Environmental Stimuli in Physarum polycephalum and a Multi-agent Model
Jeff Jones, Richard Mayne, Andrew Adamatzky
The slime mould Physarum polycephalum is known to construct proto- plasmic transport networks which approximate proximity graphs by forag- ing for nutrients during its plasmodial l…
On the role of the plasmodial cytoskeleton in facilitating intelligent behaviour in slime mould Physarum polycephalum
Richard Mayne, Andrew Adamatzky, Jeff Jones
The plasmodium of slime mould Physarum polycephalum behaves as an amorphous reaction-diffusion computing substrate and is capable of apparently intelligent behaviour. But how does…
Actin automata: Phenomenology and localizations
Andrew Adamatzky, Richard Mayne
Actin is a globular protein which forms long filaments in the eukaryotic cytoskeleton, whose roles in cell function include structural support, contractile activity to intracellula…
Towards slime mould electrical logic gates with optical coupling
Richard Mayne, Andrew Adamatzky
Physarum polycephalum is a macroscopic single celled plasmodial slime mould. We employ plasmodial phototactic responses to construct laboratory prototypes of NOT and NAND logical g…
