Physarum wires: Self-growing self-repairing smart wires made from slime mould
We report experimental laboratory studies on developing conductive pathways, or wires, using protoplasmic tubes of plasmodium of acellular slime mould Physarum polycephalum. Given two pins to be connected by a wire, we place a piece of slime mould on one pin and an attractant on another pin. Physarum propagates towards the attract and thus connects the pins with a protoplasmic tube. A protoplas...
متن کاملPhysarum Chip Project: Growing Computers From Slime Mould
Research in unconventional, or nature-inspired, computing aims to uncover novel principles of efficient information processing and computation in physical, chemical and biological systems, to develop novel non-standard algorithms and computing architectures, and also to implement conventional algorithms in non-silicon, or wet, substrates. This emerging field of science and engineering is predom...
متن کاملPhysarum Chip: Developments in growing computers from slime mould
The Phychip project is a collaborative European research initiative to design and implement computation using the organism Physarum polycephalum; it is funded by the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) by the European Commission within CORDIS and the FET Proactive scheme. Included in this abstract are details the development of a Physarum based biosensor and biological logic gate, offering signif...
متن کاملPractical circuits with Physarum Wires
Purpose Protoplasmic tubes of Physarum polycephalum, also know as Physarum Wires (PW), have been previously suggested as novel bioelectronic components. Until recently, practical examples of electronic circuits using PWs have been limited. These PWs have been shown to be self repairing, offering significant advantage over traditional electronic components. This article documents work performed ...
متن کاملNano Wires by Self Assembly
We present a technique to fabricate nano wires on silicon substrates without any lithography. The wires are 50 nm or less in width, but their lengths can be 10s of micro meters. They can be formed by a single or multiple layers of metals. The wires can be designed to form a network which can be partially released from the substrate to form 3D structures. Such structures may serve as actuators o...
