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…

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…
