Towards a Physarum learning chip [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2016
AbstractNetworks of protoplasmic tubes of organismPhysarum polycehpalumare macro-scale structures which optimally span multiple food sources to avoid repellents yet maximize coverage of attractants. When data are presented by configurations of attractants and behaviour of the slime mould is tuned by a range of repellents, the organism preforms ...

Commodity risk assessment of Quercus robur plants from the UK

EFSA Journal, Volume 21, Issue 10, October 2023., 2023
Abstract The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to prepare and deliver risk assessments for commodities listed in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2019 as ‘High‐risk plants, plant products and other objects’. This Scientific Opinion covers plant health risks posed by plants of Quercus robur imported from the UK as:

Diet and mitonuclear haplotype interactions affect growth rate in a slime mould

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 9, September 2023., 2023
Three‐way interactions between mitochondrial, nuclear haplotypes and dietary P:C ratios affected the slime mould's surface area of growth but not biomass. Our findings have broad implications for our understanding of the effect of mitonuclear interactions on trait expression across diverse eukaryotic lineages.

Mean Field Theory of Self‐Organizing Memristive Connectomes

Annalen der Physik, Volume 535, Issue 8, August 2023., 2023
A novel mean field theory is developed to study the electrical behavior of nanowire connectomes. This framework uncovers the collective dynamics of interconnected nanowires, shedding light on the system's overall behavior. By considering individual nanowire properties and interconnectivity, it offers a comprehensive understanding of the system's ...

Simulating Transport Networks With a Physarum Foraging Model

IEEE Access, 2019
Designing effective transport networks can be considered as one of the most debated problems in the area of computational intelligence. Some nature-inspired algorithms have shown excellent abilities in the adaptive network construction. In this aspect, a

A Physarum-Inspired Decision-Making Strategy for Multisource Task Searching of Mobile Robots

Complexity, 2020
In the real world, there are many different kinds of sources, such as light, sound, and gas, distributed randomly over an area. Source search can be carried out by robotic system in applications.

Robust rhythm reporting will advance ecological and evolutionary research

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 6, Page 1398-1407, June 2023., 2023
Abstract Rhythmicity in the millisecond to second range is a fundamental building block of communication and coordinated movement. But how widespread are rhythmic capacities across species, and how did they evolve under different environmental pressures?

Orbiting Self‐Organization of Filament‐Tethered Surface‐Active Droplets

Small, Volume 19, Issue 20, May 17, 2023., 2023
Out‐of‐equilibrium self‐organization is demonstrated by interconnected source and drain droplets at an air‐water interface. While self‐assembled filaments grow from the source droplet, a hydrolysis reaction generates a concentration gradient around the drain droplet, which destabilizes filaments approaching the drain from behind.

On attraction of slime mould Physarum polycephalum to plants with sedative properties [PDF]

, 2011
A plasmodium of acellular slime mould Physarum polycephalum is a large single cell with many nuclei. Presented to a configuration of attracting and repelling stimuli a plasmodium optimizes its growth pattern and spans the attractants, while avoiding ...
