A Biophysical Approach to the Design of Networks of Communication Systems
Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, Volume 49, Issue 5, Page 4539-4547, 30 March 2026.ABSTRACT Inspired by the growth dynamics of the protist Physarum polycephalum, we employ a formalism that describes adaptive, incompressible Hagen‐Poiseuille flows on channel networks to identify graphs connecting different nodes within Euclidean space. These graphs are either suboptimal or optimal relative to their length.

Fast and Slow Signal Propagation in Abiotic Polypeptide Assemblies
ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 6, 27 March 2026.Proteinoid microspheres formed by thermal polymerization of amino acids exhibit spontaneous electrical potential fluctuations without genetic material, membranes, or ion channels. Multi‐electrode recordings and electron microscopy reveal composition‐dependent voltage oscillations, long‐term drifts, and correlated signals across electrodes.

Mycelial dynamics in arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi
New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 2, Page 691-713, January 2026.Summary Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), similar to other filamentous fungi, develop extensive hyphal networks collectively known as mycelia. AMF mycelia are complemented by a variety of specialized structures such as spores, vesicles, and auxiliary cells, which together form integrated and functionally diverse AMF networks.

Slime Mould Games Based on Rough Set Theory
International 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.
