A team of researchers from Unconventional Computing Lab, UWE Bristol discovered that fungi are memristors (resistor with memory). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Memristors (memory resistor) close the loop for I-V characteristics of the traditional, passive, semi-conductor devices. A memristor is a physical realisation of the material implication and is therefore a universal logical element. Memristors are getting particular interest in the field of bioelectronics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In laboratory experiments the Unconventional Computing Lab team show that living oyster mushrooms ‘Pleurotus ostreatus’ exhibit mem-fractive properties. They believe a potential practical implementation of the memristive properties of the fungi would be in the sensorial and computing circuits embedded into mycelium bound composites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
