A survey on physarum polycephalum intelligent foraging behaviour and bio-inspired applications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
In recent years, research on Physarum polycephalum has become more popular after Nakagaki (AIR 407: 6803-470, 2000) performed their famous experiment showing that Physarum was able to find the shortest route through a maze.

Analysis of Carbohydrates and Glycoconjugates by Matrix‐Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Mass Spectrometry: An Update for 2023–2024

open access: yesMass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The use of MALDI mass spectrometry for the analysis of carbohydrates and glycoconjugates is a well‐established technique and this comprehensive review is the twelfth update of the original article published in 1999 and brings coverage of the literature to the end of 2024.

A Novel -Inspired Routing Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks

open access: yesInternational Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks, 2013
There is a tradeoff between routing efficiency and energy equilibrium for sensor nodes in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Inspired by the large and single-celled amoeboid organism, slime mold Physarum polycephalum , this paper presents a novel Physarum -

Practical circuits with Physarum Wires [PDF]

open access: yesBiomedical Engineering Letters, 2016
Purpose: Protoplasmic tubes of Physarum polycephalum, also know as Physarum Wires (PW), have been previously suggested as novel bio- electronic 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 ...

Controllable Intrinsic Surface Pattern Generation Using Slime Mold Simulations

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Surface‐based pattern simulations have proven valuable for texture design and scientific visualization, but existing methods face several limitations. Most simulations either target a narrow range of pattern types (e.g. spots, branching) or support a broad range of patterns at the cost of time‐consuming parameter tuning.

Robot Control: From Silicon Circuitry to Cells

open access: yes, 2006
Life-like adaptive behaviour is so far an illusive goal in robot control. A capability to act successfully in a complex, ambiguous, and harsh environment would vastly increase the application domain of robotic devices.

A Conceptual Framework for Understanding Intelligent Behavior in Fungal Mycelia

open access: yesTopics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Fungi exhibit remarkably complex behavior through their mycelial networks, which consist of thread‐like structures known as hyphae. Recent research on saprotrophic fungi has demonstrated that their mycelium behaves in ways that indicate memory, learning, decision‐making, and problem‐solving based on spatial pattern recognition—all of which are

Continual decision‐making dynamics across biological organisms

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1059-1072, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Decision‐making is a central function of adaptive behaviour in biological agents. However, strategies for adaptive decision‐making can vary substantially across species. Here, we aim to extend the comparative scope of decision‐making analyses to phylogenetically diverse organisms.

Slime Mould Games Based on Rough Set Theory

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, 2018
We define games on the medium of plasmodia of slime mould, unicellular organisms that look like giant amoebae. The plasmodia try to occupy all the food pieces they can detect. Thus, two different plasmodia can compete with each other.
