Computers to use living slime mould in future


Computers to use living slime mould in future
LONDON: Solid silicon devices may soon be a thing of past as scientists have now built logical circuits using living slime mould that might act as the building blocks for computing devices and sensors.

Found in a wide variety of colours, the slime mould uses spores to reproduce.

The scientists have built logical circuits that exploit networks of interconnected slime mould tubes to process information.

This represents a new way to build micro-fluidic devices for processing environmental or medical samples on very small scale for testing and diagnostics, the research found.

The extension to a much larger network of slime mould tubes could process nanoparticles and carry out sophisticated Boolean logic operations of the kind used by computer circuitry.
