Controllable Intrinsic Surface Pattern Generation Using Slime Mold Simulations
Computer 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.

Sterol content of the Myxomycetes Physarum polycephalum and P. flavicomum
Journal of Lipid Research, 1976 The sterol content of two Myxomycetes, Physarum polycephalum and P. flavicomum has been examined. The sterols of the two species are apparently identical, the two major sterols in each being poriferasterol and 22-dihydroporiferasterol.

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 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 -

On mass transport in Physarum polycephalum [PDF]
, 2022 The network-forming slime mold Physarum polycephalum has proven to be the epitome of self-organization. As a single cell it adapts seemingly intelligent to stimuli, integrating various inputs to create a coordinated response over an extended body plan in space and time. Most feats performed by Physarum polycephalum are linked to its morphology which is

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.

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.
