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: Shiitake Mushrooms Powering Brain-Like Memory
From Forest Floors to Flight of Silicon: A New Kind of Memory In a bold fusion of biology and computing, researchers have demonstrated a working memristor built from shiitake mushrooms (Lentinula edodes). These tiny, root-like networks of a fungus—known as mycelium—are capable of storing information by changing their electrical resistance in response to voltage. This…
