Fungal Memristor: Mushrooms Power a New Computer Memory
Scientists Demonstrate a Living Computer Memory Made from Mushrooms In a surprising twist on electronics, researchers have built a functioning memristor using the root-like network of shiitake mushrooms. This biological approach swaps conventional silicon and titanate materials for the mycelium—the network of threadlike filaments that enable a fungus to grow and forage. The result is…

Fungal Memristors: Scientists Build Working Computer Memory From Shiitake Mushrooms
Fungal Memristors: A New Frontier in Brain-Inspired Computing In a bold leap for bio-inspired technology, scientists have constructed a working memristor using shiitake mushrooms. These humble fungi, specifically their mycelium—the root-like network that ferries nutrients through a fungus—are now poised to serve as the core of memory in electronic circuits. The development signals a potential…
