Robot Control: From Silicon Circuitry to Cells
, 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 Novel -Inspired Routing Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks
International 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 -

Continual decision‐making dynamics across biological organisms
Biological 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.

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.

Magnetic Nanoparticles-Loaded Physarum polycephalum: Directed Growth and Particles Distribution
, 2015 Slime mold Physarum polycephalum is a single cell visible by an unaided eye. The slime mold optimizes its network of protoplasmic tubes to minimize expose to repellents and maximize expose to attractants and to make efficient transportation of nutrients.

Physarum-Inspired Bicycle Lane Network Design in a Congested Megacity
Applied Sciences, 2021 Improvement of mobility, especially environment-friendly green mobility, is challenging in existing megacities due to road network complexity and space constraints. Endorsing the bicycle lane network (BLN) in congested megacities is a promising option to

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.
